[quote=Anonymous]It is one thing if this were a few weeks or months. If there was an END date in the foreseeable future. This arrangement will not only go on for YEARS but it is very likely given the sister's reluctance to step up, that she will be bowing out very soon. Leaving the majority to OP and his wife. The dad needs to step up and pay for a nurse or someone to check in. LIkely the needs will only increase over the next 2 years so it is better to get someone in now to build rapport with the mom and get to know her. Hell, pay a neighbor or a college student (I think college sitter.com does elderly visits/care as well). There has to be a nursing student interested. OPs wife is 100% correct in not wanting to pay in both money and time given the frequency and duration that this care will be needed. OP, stand up to your dad and sister and do what is best for your mom. [/quote]
