[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't get to make this decision for them. What do they want to do?[/quote]

They are like leaves in the wind, changing direction constantly. It depends who they talk to. Ideally, they would like us to buy a large house and put a large extension on it that they would live in for the rest of the days, with skilled nursing care and with me becoming a stay-at-home parent to care for them and the house. That is not feasible financially, nor is it something we have any desire to do. My FIL was abusive to my husband as a child, and bringing him in to live with our immediate family is not an option.  Beyond that choice, they talk about moving here and living independently in an apartment (but it must be brand new, have in-unit WD, be near our house, etc.), moving into assisted care (which I am not sure they have the resources for), and staying put where they are.  They have been very resistant to getting help in their house.

My husband and I are trying to get a better understanding of the finances of it all, so we can present them with some realistic options, and they will then be able to make a decision for themselves.  [/quote]
