I am the primary caregiver for my husband and brother.
They need diabetic care, medication, diabetic meals. They can dress and do hygiene and have not fallen recently.
What can I do to prepare for the day when I cannot care for them?
They make just enough money to not qualify for anything apparently.
Do I need to call 3 ambulances if heaven forbid it came to that and just hope I can refuse unsafe care for them?
This allows a person who makes too much for Medicaid to get around that. Just a thought.
Here is the link to Georgia's locator for Agency on Aging, a resource for you to call:

Here is the link to Dept of HHS's Home & Community-based Services where they have a link for in-home services and senior services (look on left side of your screen):

Have you actually tried to apply for Medicaid for them? Your profile says your brother has cancer as well as diabetes. You are a hero for caring for them but you should NOT be a martyr. You will need to put your Reality hat on moving forward as their care gets more intense -- and it should NOT come at the cost of your own health. If they have already applied for Medicaid and did not qualify then maybe it's time to see an elder law attorney who specializes in Medicaid issues. It will be money well spent. I wish you all the best as you sort through your best pathways to relief!
