[quote=Anonymous]Any chance they could move to a graduated assisted living facility? Since she is still high-functioning, while he needs a bit more assistance, it could be a great solution. They could start in an apartment suite, with arrangments for some staff to come in on a limited basis during the day while she's away to check on him. Would also be a lot easier to get him to some activities that are done at the facility because they'd be right there--no car required. Also, when (and this will certainly happen) he suffers another health set back and requires more care, it will be a lot easier to transition him into the part of the facility for full-time care, and she can still easily see him. This worked extremely well for DH's grandparents. Like many, there was reluctance to leave their home, but it was a far, far better solution for all.[/quote]
