My brother lives with dad and sis lives within walking distance of him. I'm only a 35 minute drive away, but it seems like much more of a distance.
It is a sad time when you reach an age and situation when you and your siblings need to intervene in a parent's life.
I can't get it out of my mind how unwell, weak, and vulnerable my dad looks. My siblings and I don't know exactly what and when to do. I mean, we sort of do, but it's difficult.

You and your siblings are in a very difficult situation.
I admire the depth of your love and concern for your dad.
Intervening with a family member can feel very necessary.
Yet, you are right -- when and where?
I hope you and your siblings can show a united front of love and concern. Sometimes these expressions by loved ones melt the heart of the one with whom we feel led to intervene.
I wish you all the best as you decide more about exactly what to do to help your father.
Love and prayers,
