When siblings disagree on how to care for aging parents

My brother and I have been taking care of Mom since her stroke and we have completely different approaches — he wants to hire help and keep her independent, I think she needs more family involvement and maybe to move in with one of us. Every conversation about it turns into an argument about what kind of children we are.
