[quote=Anonymous]I'm new to all the terms, and it is my MIL we are talking about not my own parent.

My husband's mom can no longer live on her own.  She's not local to any of her sons.  She's been offered to move in with two of her sons but doesn't want to leave her own town. She's 85 and in good mental health, just frail.

The sons have located a few places in her town were she could move, but both are limited in the help they can give.  They have assisted living options but if you need more than that you need to move out.  There's no buy in involved; you just pay rent.  (She can afford the monthly rent).

What is the drawback of going to a place like above, that doesn't have a nursing care or memory care option?  Down the road, will it become difficult to place her somewhere (again all of us are quite far away) if she needs more care, if she isn't already set up with a situation?  Or maybe at that point she'll be easier to just move to a location closer to us.  She thankfully has the money for either option but right now she's very opinionated about wanting to stay in her own town.[/quote]
