[quote=Anonymous]OP I know your options seem awful, but I'd strongly advise getting as much information as possible and setting up as many supports and boundaries as possible. Your MIL may be eligible for some in-home assistance, a few hours a day; that has kept my elderly inlaws in their own home longer than we imagined possible. The local/state council or agency for the elderly can also provide other types of assistance, advise you on how to minimize fall risks and other hazards for an elderly person. They may also be able to help you make a plan for what happens when your MIL is unable to handle personal care tasks or cooking. It's a very very hard road, but always better if you're ahead of the curve rather than trying to sort your way out of a mess in the midst of an active crisis.[/quote]
