[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry you are going through this.

I'd network in Ukraine on your next visit.

The cheapest option would be to have local ladies come in 3 or 4 hours a day to help.  This would be a lot less expensive them bringing his parents to the US and doing the same.

The challenge would be how you transfer monies from the US to pay the local ladies.

On your next visit I'd also visit local nursing homes and find out who pays for nursing home care and what it costs.

24 hour in home care by locals in the Ukraine will be significantly less expensive than the same care in the US.

OP here.  The problem isn't that we won't be able to get them skilled nursing care in Ukraine - that would be relatively easy to organize, pay for, etc. as things are operating relatively normally where my ILs live - it's that once they are at a stage where they will need this type of care, my husband would only be able to see his parents via video calls, wouldn't be able to be with them at the end of life (if they didn't die a sudden death) and he also wouldn't be able to attend their eventual funerals.  So we are looking for options that don't make everyone miserable and/or broke.  And, honestly, we haven't really come up with any good ones (except an end to the war and lifting of the ban on men exiting the country, and that looks quite unlikely).
