A help to me and my husband with care for my mom (also my husband's parents .. hit all at same time and my husband had help of his brother and sister) was our local (I live in Georgia USA) Department of Health and Human Resources. It may be under a different name in your community. (Social or Welfare Services.) When my mom had to go to the hospital the social workers at the hospital also made suggestions. With my husband's mom her doctor was also very involved in getting her great care. Sometimes you have to keep asking people to find the best answers for you.
My prayers uplifted for you and your wife.

My wife's oncologist gave a referral to Palliative Care at the local hospital's Supportive Care Clinic. We've met with them and they will guide us through the care process including hospice at home.
I've had telephone conversations with North Dakota Health & Human Services personnel and they are coming to our house next week. They will provide Companion and Respite care free of charge.
Thank you for the suggestions.
