Thoughts and prayers are with you FB.
I'm also going through this with my mom (93).
We are very fortunate that dad left enough behind in investments so we can have 24/7 caregivers.
Getting them caregivers was WWIII, when dad was still around they would cover for each other (we would notice bumps and bruises but when questioned they would blow it off as "oh, it is nothing.") plus several trips to the ER because they insisted on administrating their own meds (now done by the caregiver)
I see mom at church Sundays (she goes to late service and I to early so I hang around for 30 minutes just to help her get into her pew) and try to drop by once a week for a visit... but just as you describe it is just the same circle of questions "how are your kitties?", "how many cats do you have?", "what are you doing later today?", and repeat.
We had a long standing tradition of doing lunch once a week and I knew when she got too weak to do that things were getting bad... but she still makes it to church and the hairdresser so she is not done yet.
Not sure why I am posting this... I guess because many of us here are baby boomers and in the same situation.
