I think it could work, possibly easier than spending more and more time trying to keep your parents current situation afloat.
I had my mum to live with me for a year, and that worked out very well.
She was very "well behaved". grin

I would not have done this for my in-laws! We did it temporarily for FIL when he was homeless on return from abroad - what a nightmare! He and OH barely on speaking terms, so guess who was keeping the peace?! And whose job it was to have the difficult conversation with him about "It's time to go!!!" And who searched for suitable accommodation for him?

It is a risky road I feel, even with a separate annexe.

We haven't done it yet but are seriously thinking of offering to have my in-laws to live with us as they get increasingly needy.
It would require us to move to somewhere suitable so not a speedy undertaking.
Has anyone experience of this? I'd love advice or to hear how it worked or otherwise. We are in our 70s so perhaps this isn't a common arrangement.
