[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL is 93 and has developed dementia over the last 5 to 7 years. She lives in her own home. DH and his siblings have hired a team of home health aides and helpers to take care of her. DH's sisters hate the idea of their mother moving into a care facility. They see it as a form of 'betrayal'. DH wants what is best for his mother but he is the more rational and practical one of the siblings, and he would support the idea, if her condition deteriorates and she can no longer comfortably live at home, even with aides/helpers. There have been low level conflicts about MIL's care between DH and his siblings over the years. His sisters are far more emotional about it than he is. (My own parents passed away a long time ago at a younger age than MIL and I never had to deal with these issues.) [/quote] One of the emotional sister can move her to her house and y'all can help financially and relieving her on weekends.[/quote]
