Slight digression... some people think elderly folks should be "in a home" when they get frail, rather than aging in place at home.
The thing is, though, they'll never be put into long term care unless they're immobile, and can't get out of bed or take care of their feeding or toilet needs.
Hospice usually (not always, but usually) means 3-6 months left to live.
And "supportive seniors housing" is $$$ for the rich only.
So, a very similar situation to what you're facing.
