My mother in law is totally dependent on her children. My husband is the middle child out of 3. His older sister is 51, and younger sister is 35. My mother in law lives in a small house on the "hood" side of town. She is also a chain smoker. She has chained smoked for 40 something years. Her home is nasty, because of the chain smoke of over 40 years and also her dog pees everywhere in the house - was never trained to pee outside. No one likes to stay at her house, it's not sanitary at all.
My mother in law can no longer see. She is beyond legally blind. She takes 50 diff medications, has one of those oxygen machines, and now, developed severe cataracts and is almost blind.
She has to have someone stay with her at her house during the night because she is scared at night to stay by herself. We can't do this. So my question is: Should we put her in a nursing home or continue to be inconveinenced? And believe me, she doesn't care if we are inconveinenced anyways.
