[quote=Anonymous]Don’t mean to pile on PP, but this would be fine as a temporary arrangement of maybe a few days or a week. This is not sustainable or practical and I say this a recently orphaned adult - my parents died five years apart in the same continuing care community. Both your aunt and parent are one fall away from needing round the clock care. Or one medical diagnosis away or both. Can your aunt safely drive a car? Can your parent be left alone? Has the house been modified to be safer for an elderly person? How will bathing and ADL be handled? Are there stairs? Bed rails? Can your aunt operate a cell phone/follow basic directions? Who has oversight here? Are there meds to be managed? Doctor appointments to schedule and attend? How will home maintenance be handled? Laundry? Errands? Meal prep? I do t think you’re thru king this through.[/quote]
