[quote=Anonymous]FIL is on hospice still being cared for at home in a patchwork manner with paid nurses and family members. He is adamant that he doesn’t want to go into a nursing home but the care plan as it exists isn’t enough. We are out of state and paying about $4k/month for the nurse in the afternoons. Two other children are local and trying to manage the care when the nurse isn’t there but it’s too much. As I am the DIL I can’t force the nursing home issue but this all feels unsustainable. FIL doesn’t have assets so it would be a Medicaid bed. We can afford to help for a while but around the clock care at home (17k/month) will wipe us out if it goes more than 2 months. Suggestions? If it were my parents I would push the nursing home but, to be fair, they have more assets and would get a better place. [/quote]
