Hiya Barbie,
So pleased that you decided to post.
Sorry if this sounds very practical - I just know that my dad, brother and I got through that difficult time because I had phone numbers at the ready, and we already had a Nursing Home in mind. Though we had hoped not to have to use it - but life is not always what we hope for.
Love Helen

You will know when you can nolonger cope; all I would suggest is that you have a contingency plan for that moment. Know who you and your daughter can contact to get extra help and support; if it becomes time for a Nursing Home, have looked at some in advance. Try not to leave it until your own health is damaged too badly.How much longer I can carry on I do not know as trying to deal with the dementia as well as the results of the stroke is beginning to wear me down
