My heart goes out to you. This is a tough road and you are to be commended to opening your home to your family. God will bless you in this endeavor. However difficult, the financial and personal impacts have to be brought into the open and agreed upon with all family members. Perhaps if you could look at all the options - renovating their home to a better floor plan and bringing in home care there, a nursing home, etc etc. These may be options that you are absolutely against but it gives an idea of the costs involved so that others in your family understand the scope of the task. The financial burden has to be shared by all, and the caring burden should be shared also so that you and your family are not overwhelmed by it all. Getting this agreed now will help prevent resentment building up later and will hopefully bring the whole family even closer together.
