Mother-in-law

My mother-in-law lives on her own but is considering selling her primary home. She is very active and has many activities she enjoys on a daily basis. However, she has had a hip replacement and I think we would all feel more comfortable if she lived with someone. I'd like to know more about making this kind of choice: should we look into retirement communities? Or, we like the idea of her living with us but have no idea of what to expect or how to realistically prepare for and deal with the care she would need. How do we best help her to look into her alternatives to make a good decision?

Start with having her "visit" you for a week. This will help you gauge her level of dependence and provide you some useful insight in to what it would be like to live with her. Like a test drive of sorts.
