I am an 80 year old woman that is hearing impaired and have a pacemaker. I am trying to care for my 65-year-old son that is blind and on dialysis 3 times a week. My problem is he tried to commit suicide and I brought him home with me. I think he has mental problems. He is not abusive but there is something wrong with him; all he does is eat and sleep doesn't care about anything else. He makes me forget things. I'm just so confused, I don't know where to go, I just know I don't want him here pulling my health down anymore. I forget to take my meds, he is up at 5:30 Am, hungry expecting me to fix his breakfast and I am sick and tired of it. Where do I go from here for help? He has to go I cannot take it anymore

I am so sorry for your situation but you have asked this question several times and have gotten suggestions concerning resources you can find in your area. But you have to make the calls.
We are not an agency, we are a forum of Caregivers that share their experiences. We r from all over the US, Canada, UK and other countries.
As suggested, you need to call your County Office of Aging and ask if they can evaluate your situation. They maybe able to help you find a place for your son.
