Has anyone walked away from caregiving and left it up to siblings/family members who have refused to help? If so, how did things play out?

You can step back.
This does not equate to 'refusers' becoming 'choosers' to help.

Is that what you'd like to happen?

But it CAN force someone needing help to start accepting 'non-you' help.

Is that closer to what you'd like?

I stepped back.
Non-family hired home help increased & EMS called in for falls.
A win/win result.

Yes, people have walked away. It will turn out in any of a myriad of ways, dependent on family, dependent on person requiring care. That isn't your problem. Your probelm is that you intend to, want to resign from the care of the elder. Let the elder and the rest of the family know the date you are leaving. Then, if no family steps forward, report the person you cared for as a senior at risk to APS.
