[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like staying in place or moving to the home of the daughter willing to take care of her are the best options. If she's moves to the home, a lot of that money will be needed to prepare the home and pay for caregivers so cost may be about the same for the first couple of months and then go down. MIL would be much happier with social contact with the daughter, than no one else. And I don't think this pandemic is going to end anytime soon, so this is MILs life for the foreseeable future.

And there is no way a frail elderly person would be able to live by themselves in a regular apartment and Uber to see friends who probably won't be allowed to visit her anyhow.

As long as the daughter is willing to take this huge task on, it sounds like a good idea. [/quote]

And if the daughter takes this on, sinks money into her house (putting in a chair lift, hand rails in the tub, ramp up on the front steps, etc) and then decides that is tooooo much for her to care for mom, what happens to mom then?  Leave her where she actually IS being cared for and try to find a more affordable place to her closer to you, Op.[/quote]
