Are you in the U.S.? There should be lots of support systems for you, if so. I have also had the responsibility of caring for both of my parents and have recently learned a lot about what help is available. It sounds like you need to have a doctor write an order for home health care. This will be paid for by Medicare and will be a tremendous relief to you. They can send someone in to help with the bathing as well as tend to medical needs. My heart goes out to you, especially if you don't have siblings to help. It's hard to find out all this information, but there really are many senior services available. Forgive me if I'm assuming you don't already know these things.
