My brother

I'm new here. My brother has early onset dementia. He lives a few states away from me. He is married to a wonderful person. He is very angry at her. He claims there is too much clutter in the house and wants it all removed by a certain date or he is leaving and moving up by me. I love my brother and we are very close. I am his safe place but I have a full house and my health isn't the best. We have been trying to figure out how to handle this. He stopped his medicine, barely eating and not sleeping. Won't let his wife go his dr appointments. Giving her the silent treatment. His wife is trying to keep it together. She doesn't have family there. Im the closest to her. She did put a call in the dr but so far no callback. Any ideas? Thank you for listening
