Reading your post reminded me of another item I had read a few months ago from Sheryl Karas' <a href="http://spiritualcaregiving.blogspot.com/2008/05/should-i-move-in-with-grandma.html"The Spiritual Journey of Family Caregiving Blog</a>. She offers some tips families should think about when making this type of arrangement that might be helpful to you and others. She recommends that everyone understands where the grandparent is medically, and where he/she might be headed, and also that families recognize the value of live-in services so that there is no resentment by any party.
