[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks to those who replied additionally. (I hadn't checked this thread for a while because there wasn't any new info for a bit.) 
I especially appreciate the link to the Polish government site outlining assistance that's available.  Of most interest is Ukrainians' rights to live in Poland for an extended period (I think maybe it's three years right now?).  For stuff like health care, nursing homes, other stipends, etc, we planned to pay for those privately. I've looked at care costs (both health care generally and nursing homes) in Poland and that would be affordable for us.  We have no interest in Polish taxpayers paying for us/them - that would certainly be entirely unfair, especially considering that we can pay.

My ILs wouldn't be eligible for U4U because they have other ways open to them.  (Their son is a US citizen and they have open visitor visas.)  So they'd have to buy insurance on the exchange and pay full price.  That alone would be very expensive but still do-able.  It's the care that many people need in their later years - in home aides, nursing home, etc - that we couldn't afford.  (Nursing homes, I think, run around 10k/mo per person, for example...)  Also, my ILs don't speak a lick of English, so coming here would be super isolating.

For right now, they're okay to stay in Ukraine on their own and travel to Poland to visit with my husband, but they're not aging backwards, so we need to at least outline a plan now while we're all thinking with our heads on straight vs in the middle of a crisis.[/quote]
