[quote=Anonymous]The things she needs help with are no reason for her to go into assisted living, which can be way more expensive than you anticipate. Bill paying--set up automatic debits, or online bill pay where you can take care of it a couple times a month from home. Errands--you say you can do this 1-2 times a month on X or Y day, and you just can't beyond this. House maintenance--find a handyman you like. Many perfectly able-bodied people outsource this. Find a housecleaner who would also be willing to do her laundry and run errands or whatever else is needed. Many able-bodied people outsource this as well. You could hire a home health aide if she needs help with bathing--most of them also do housework. Tell your cousin what you can (pay for stuff) and cannot do (spend tons of time) and just stick with that.[/quote]
