Frail/Elderly

I moved my parents into my building 10 years ago after my dad had a major brain bleed.  Over that time both parents have had a variety of major health issues. I have 24 care for them and I see them 2x/day every day. Right now my mother is inpatient after breaking a femur and then getting pneumonia. My dad told me he has a “bad cold” which inevitably becomes something more serious. I’m not sure how much more I can handle. And I have resources and help and am right here but it may be too much. Any words of wisdom??
