[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're just venting and looking for ideas. It seems like maybe the first step is looking at home health care support. I just googled and came up with this list, if you're in DC: http://doh.dc.gov/service/home-health-agency-facility-list This is so hard, and I feel for you. My parents are still in good health, but I remember the differing choices that my parents made for each of their parents towards end of life due to their unique needs, and all four were different. Does MIL have any resources or savings of her own? Check on Medicaid and what it will cover in terms of providing in-home support. How does your wife feel? Are she and her sister in agreement about keeping your mother at home? Talk with her doctors as well. Good luck. Being that elderly has so little dignity.[/quote]
