My father needs skilled nursing care for several weeks (but possibly longer / until he dies - pancreatic cancer) and I'm hoping to find a place where my mom can have an apartment on site (but she's totally independent).
We'd love something high-end, and they have a very generous budget.

They think he likely needs equipment that a skilled nursing facility would have but can't be brought to the home, so in-home care might result in a return to hospitalization.
But knowing he could only have a few months I want my mom to be comfortable (and not have the stress of driving back and forth).
Like what exactly? If you are managing his dying process that can absolutely be done at home.
