[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are amenable to him living close to you (but not in your house), I would recommend that you look into the possibility of moving your grandmother's double-wide trailer up here and find a trailer park near you where you could move his existing house.  Then he would be closer to you, but not living in your house.  He would still be independent, so he would be responsible for paying for the trailer park fees (which would be lower than apartment rental fees).  He should still be able to afford the trailer park fees with some money leftover from his SS payment.  It may be the best compromise available.  He gets to be closer to his grandchild(ren), and you won't be running to Kentucky for every emergency of his that comes up.  The benefit is that as you look into the options, if you don't want him too close, you can look for a trailer park farther away (Frederick? maybe) and look for a less expensive trailer park that is a bit out of the way in order to "save him money" on the rental fees.
