I think it would be good to have a family reunion with your Dad and sisters to try to convince him that the situation can't continue like that, maybe he feel "guilty" about sending her to a home care, but at his age he needs to take care of himself as well. Maybe giving your stepmom an "ultimatum" that she has two choices only, letting someone come home to help or going to a home care, she would then decide to accept the help (?) I do hope that things will change for the better.

Dad just called and asked if I'd like a tomato plant. I said "sure", but then he called right back (I could hear Betty hollering in the background) and said I couldn't have one after all because Betty had promised them to her kids....(probably in appreciation of all the help they've been...🤣...

Quick update- Betty fell in the bathroom again on Saturday. Dad called the fire department like he usually does but this time when they came to the house they said they can no longer come out and get her off the floor. They called an ambulance and she was taken to the hospital. It sounds like the doctor doesn’t want her going home until she gets physical therapy and can walk on her own. That won’t happen, though - she refuses to do physical therapy, so I’m not sure what they’re going to do, but at least Dad has a little peace of mind for now.
