My MIL passed last year at the age of 96. She required round-the-clock care in her home for the last 4 months of her life. Thank goodness she had savings since it ran nearly $15,000 a month. That was $20/ hour, 24 hours a day. Hospice provided the medical care but they don't help with direct care. Her wish was to stay in her own home with her little dog at her side. It wasn't easy to find and coordinate care, but we did it.
