Perhaps if they moved together to an assisted living facility, he could live with her and have the help he needs with her care close at hand. I have relatives who have chosen options of the sort. It is something to look into especially for the progressive living. I understand such places are not in every community and are pricey, but when averaging the cost of maintaining a home and keeping a loved one in a NH it be doable. Just a thought of a way out if it gets to him, or a possible discussion for her to feel like this move isn't the end of their lives as a couple. Their home could be rented out for income and if it doesn't work, he has a place to come back to.
