 OP - Being in a hospital is one thingbut being in a rehab facility or coming home and needing care is entirely different and likely unsustainable for a long time unless some paid help is brought in or someone brings the elderly person into their home or moves into the person's home.  Folks are saying this is for DH and SIL to figure out, but you also need to have a conversation with DH about the needs of your nuclear family in terms of the children front and center and your DH's health.  As a couple you need to be clear on what he can commit to doing.  
My dad was in a topnotch SNF during Covid and while they allowed over 20 family members to come in to at different times during the three weeks, he was in to be with him and at the end to have a final visit, no one was allowed to stay overnight.  Even with a large family being willing to help out with all that has been mentioned, it was draining for that time with my four brothers scheduling their professional job and scheduling who would be covering what shift.  My point is that you need to consider not only finances, but what the family can do, especially long term.  [/quote]
