I have an aging family member who is solo (spouse died), and having a caregiver is necessary; the elderly person is immobile and certainly can’t cook or get to medical appointments. I spend a lot of time at the elderly person’s house, so for days on end, it’s the elderly person, 24-hour caregivers and me.

Anyone else live with an elderly person AND a full-time caregiver?

Why are you asking the question? What are you angling around to find out? More context would probably help members provide useful answers. Are you concerned about how a residing relative and the caregiver balance the workload or establish the client's plan of care? Are you concerned how other family members get along with live in caretakers or how they resolve conflicts?

FWIW, your OP makes it seem as if you visit for finite periods but you don't actually reside there. Different situation.
