Would it work to switch houses? Just a thought. I watched the PBS special last night on bringing a relative into the home who had alzheimers. It broke the family up within a year because they didn't ask for a lot of outside help and there was a lot of resentment of having to take care of her. The wife told her husband "no one asked me if I wanted to do this. They just expected me to because I was at home. It's not even my mother." And it just went downhill from there. You should look this up at PBS online. The woman had a teenager also. It will take more than just a family meeting. It will take training on how to care for a relative at home. I wish you and your family the best in choosing what is best for everyone.
