When siblings disagree on caring for aging parents with dementia

My sister and I are both caring for our mom who has dementia, but we have completely different ideas about what's best for her and we're starting to resent each other more than we're helping her. Every conversation about her care turns into us defending our own approach instead of actually figuring out what she needs.
