My heart goes out to you in such a difficult situation. You are not alone in feeling helpless as your spouse deteriorates before your eyes. You may want to consider joining a virtual caregiver support group; many are available online through a variety of organizations (Mayo Clinic, hospitals and health care systems, Parkinsons Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, etc.) and faith-based groups. An in-person caregiver support group might also be of help to you if that is available/accessible.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am seeking out caregiver groups. Thanks for those suggestions. I met an angel at a new caregiver support group at our neurologist's office. She helped me find a suitable place for my husband where they care for his physical needs because I am unable to do that. She matches places to the person's needs and the cost to me was zero as the facility paid her. I'm new to this forum, so not sure if I am allowed to give out her name and number. I was at wits end and she just took over, got him out of the group home without my giving them 30 days notice and God did for me what I could not do for him or myself by sending her to me. I am most grateful because things are much better for my husband now as he is treated with dignity and respect.
