Please send the checklist on elders deciding to move in with family. My mother-in-law is 86 and living in an upscale retirement community for the past 5 years. She “hates it.” For the last couple of years she has talked about moving to a smaller apartment or moving to a small home in a neighborhood. We have told her she can live with us but she has declined. We’ve offered to look at smaller apartments in her present community. This is a repetitive topic of conversation and she always decides to stay where she is. All of her children agree that a move at her age would be too stressful. My husband and I are minutes away. We live on the east coast, her 3 other children are in Florida, Minnesota and Alaska. I think she is lonely for her family.
