[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have correctly identified a huge flaw in your in-law's "later stage of life" plans. There are no easy answers. All I can offer is that you are correct, they are on a slippery slope and since neither one is very stable, are likely to need your husband's help soon. Work on your husband first. Get him to go through the "what ifs" and see how your finances would handle him taking, say, a 4 week leave of absence to move in there and handle things that need to be handled. Go through his HR and see what he would need to do to submit a request through FMLA. That will start to make it real for him. If they cannot drive to get to medical care, some communities have volunteers or services that will drive them, but it is certainly easier to schedule the driving if the doctors are closer to home. Look around where your in-laws live to find these kinds of services. Medicare does not typically cover the cost of transportation to doctors visits. [/quote]
