How does the sandwiched generation juggle the responsibilities of caregiving for not one, but two aging invalids?

Here is the  account of a Kentucky family which is blending four generations in the same household.  It’s encouraging to see how Jane Music cares for her husband who has Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s as well as her 93 year-old mother. Coming to her aid is the Music’s grown daughter, her husband and two children. They gave up their work as missionaries so that they could move in and  share the caregiving burdens.

"When we married, I promised to take care of him in sickness and in health," Jane Music says, " And that’s what I intent to do."

The arrangement seems to be working because everyone is helping. See how they are doing it.
