[quote=Anonymous]My MIL has dementia and lived at home/with my FIL as her caregiver. She “eloped” (takes off and leaves the home—by foot and wanders away to who knows where) multiple times a day. What will happen if your MIL does that in an extremely rural area w no one around? In my in laws’ case, they live in a town that is densely populated and all neighbors know my in laws so they would call FIL when they saw MIL out on her own. Wouldn’t work in a rural area and seems unsafe.

MIL also did things like leave the burner on, leave a dish towel on the stove while the burner is on, leave water running (she once flooded the basement by leaving a sink on), overflows bathtub, tries to find the car keys (so far hasn’t attempted to drive but definitely can see that happening), etc etc. she also got to a point where she was very aggressive and could become violent. And had incontinence as well. Very unsafe (for herself and for the whole family) and very difficult to have her living at home w family as caregivers. She really needed to be in assisted living or memory care facility.

I’m guessing your SIL has no idea what could be in store for them taking in laws into their home and I didn’t even mention the issue of them being far from hospitals/doctors which is also a huge concern. My guess is if your in laws do move in w them it won’t last very long before they all realize what a bad idea it is. But still try to talk FIL out of it.[/quote]
