I echo suggestions from others above. PCP's, theirs, yours, whoever you can reach, may be most helpful here. My DH spent time in skilled nursing multiple times following hospitalizations. Once his care was manageable, I could bring him home with home health coming in twice a week if necessary. In the future, be aware that after hospital stays, Medicare pays for skilled nursing if there's no one at home to care for a patient. I'm not sure how it works after going home. Don't let guilt play a role, one person can only do so much. You have to remember you matter too. Sacrificing yourself helps no one. (Believe me, I know)

Praying you find help soon.

@jehjeh Yep. "You can't pour from an empty bucket," as the saying goes.
