I'd talk to a social worker to determine their eligibility for all sorts of support. Do they qualify for in-home nursing care? Could they get into elder housing, like the apartment complex in Columbia Heights or right there on 15th and U Street?

How much space would they need? Would renting a place with a full-time helper be feasible? Are you guys long-living folks? My parents died in their early to mid-70s, which was longer than their family members. You'd need to have a sense, based on their health and abilities, before considering options.

A social worker could help with all of this. I'm sure the Dept. on Aging would have resources that you could tap into as you go about figuring this out. Maybe AARP as well.

Good luck, OP! My parents had a lot to atone for (like your FIL and his abuses), but I tell you, having done right by them during their decline makes sleeping at night pretty damn easy.

Check into social services, basically anywhere, and they can help guide you.[/quote]
