[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be extremely honest, would the caregiving functions be falling significantly in your wife. Because that's actually what's involved with moving in. Caring for someone in that manner is both mentally and physically draining.[/quote] Yes, this needs to be pointed out to OP. Would YOU want to be the main caregiver for your in-law? Cook, feed, bathe, clothe someone, every single day? Deal with tantrums and whining and confusion? Watch someone decline day by day? Do the ER run every once in while, always in the dead of night? It's exhausting. [/quote] +1. I also think it doesn't allow for any quality time if you are caregiving for someone elderly with high needs (if that is in fact OP's potential situation). Def better to have an aide or assisted living doing that piece of it. And the family can try to focus on social needs.[/quote]
