[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can your SIL get a home health aide? They can come to the house like 5 times a week for 15-25 hours and bathe the person, make meals, change their clothes, etc. for them. This would get these things accomplished for your MIL, plus give your SIL some relief. I think finding a home that has a decent Asian population would be a way to open the possibility of her going. Also, keep in mind that old people worry that they'll be shuffled off to a nursing home and forgotten about. [/quote] This. A health aide would absolutely be the best solution to help your SIL care for your MIL. A lot of people, not just Asians, feel the same way about nursing homes. My mother was in one at the end of her life. While they did take care of her, it wasn't the warmest environment. Home with an aide would be better if it's an option. Finances will determine how many hours someone can come in to help.[/quote]
