All the way down to exposing the insurance companies' illegally programming their systems to automatically reject all claims that mention "dementia", attending state gov hearings with fat nursing home lobbyists with rings on every finger, whining how they can't afford more staff-to-patients, while they paid off compassionate-and-responsible republicans, the standard week-long nursing home crusade to DC, finally yanking our parent from the nursing homes and taking them home, feeding and turning in the bed, rotating shifts for a decade, all to protect our WWII island-fighting veteran parent from the great American health-care-delivery-system-incorporated. If you have siblings or family, start strategizing with them soonest. Get to know your state government's eldercare ombudsman office. Prayers and vibes for you and yours.
