[quote=Anonymous]Not exactly the same scenario but DH's mother was widowed and stayed in her home town where all her friends were. One benefit if she moved here now, perhaps to an active living community is that she is still healthy and active enough to make friends and enjoy living here. It will also be so much easier on you when she starts to decline so that he isn't constantly having to travel out there. My MIL died when DS was one, and throughout that first year my DH was traveling to his hometown probably every 6wks to handle things as his mother declined, ended up in nursing care and passed away. Selfishly, would have been so much easier if she had been nearby, she also would have seen her new grandson a few more times. I'd definitely recommend moving to a single story home. If not, have her wear a medic-alert button tied to the home's alarm system, or at a minimum always keep her cellphone in her pocket. [/quote]
