If she does move in with you, could you hire someone to care for her at other hours like nights or weekends?

Personally I work full time and wouldn’t be able to be 24/7 caregiver but I’d hire someone to come and help. My father is getting up in age but he is particular about independence, he doesn’t want to downsize or move in with any of us so we’d have to eventually hire someone to help with his care as both me and my brother have full times jobs that we can’t just quit.

What does your MIL want? Some seniors don’t want to live with families. One of my grandmas didn’t want to move so my mom, aunt and me took turns and we had someone hired to come in too.
