Find Care & Housing
Clearly other family members have established boundaries as to their level of involvement. Hounding them will indeed stir up drama as they have made clear how much they will upend their lives. I gently suggest it’s time to find assisted living. It’s not fair to put such a tremendous burden on a 24 year old. This could last for decades and your life matters too.

Wound care can be done by a nurse from a Home Health agency as long as the wound qualifies and they are home bound, which sounds like they are. Ask their primary to send out a HH RN to assess.
Same w/ PT. Why can't they come to home?
Dental, wow, getting all of that dental work, you have to decide if it's really necessary.
I think some appointments can be trimmed down. You can do that, decide what's really important and ditch the rest.

You're only 24. How elderly can your parents be? You say you've been caregiving for them 24/7 for two years. Who financially supports you?

You need to be going to work at your age and earning. If your parents are so debilitated and elderly (though I don't see how that's biologically possible if you're only 24) that they have doctor's appointments daily and they can't get out of a car on their own, they should be in a nursing home. Or with a live-in caregiver in their home.

Have a meeting with your family to discuss what plans need to be made for your parents. You need to get a job and provide for yourself. This can't happen if you're being an unpaid 24/7 caregiver to your parents.

Someone needs to have POA or conservatorship over your parents. I would suggest the court appoints a conservator for them that is not you. You're too young at 24 to take that on and you need to start making your own life and your own living. Unless you're married or wealthy no one is going to provide for you if they die and if they're as sick as you say, that could become a reality soon enough. Your siblings sure aren't going to help.

Talk to APS and tell them about your situation and that you're leaving. They will start the state petition for conservatorship.
