When siblings disagree on caring for aging parents with dementia

My sister and I are both taking care of our dad as his dementia progresses, but we have completely different ideas about what's best for him and we're starting to resent each other more than we're helping him. Every conversation about his care turns into an argument about our childhoods or who's doing more, and meanwhile he's caught in the middle of our dysfunction.
