[quote=Anonymous] My dear OP, until you live with these elderly folks you might not be the best judge of your SIL's motivations. I know on the outside it seems as if SIL exploited them, but usually it's more complicated than that. My SIL also did something similar, except that my MIL saw the writing the wall and decided to move before things came to a head. She's now in a city apartment, where it's easier to hire people to help her, so the move was actually a great idea! Her plan to live out her life in her apartment is a sound one, given all the help she's getting. First you need to know what income is available to your ILs. Then see whether apartment living with aides is more affordable than a nursing home, and what the comfort differential will be. They might be headed for Medicaid homes, so you need to visit those.[/quote]
