When adult siblings disagree about aging parent care decisions

Our mom has been declining for the past six months and my brother and I have completely different ideas about what care looks like - he thinks we should move her to assisted living and I think we should figure out how to keep her at home. We're both exhausted and starting to resent each other instead of actually deciding what's best for her.
