This is heart breaking. What about her family? Why doesn't anyone take her in and let her live with them? I worked in a nursing home for years and there is nothing that a nursing home does that you can't do at home and you can get a home health nurse to come do the few things you can't. Nursing homes are expensive and if they are private paying for any of it, they could easily hire someone to stay with her while they were at work or wanted to go out for the evening.
I'm currently living with my 86 year old mom who has lung cancer. I swore 30 years ago after working in a nursing home that I'd never send my parents there. It's not easy and I have had to give up a lot to be here for her, but I wouldn't have it any other way. She sacrificed a lot for me my whole life. She deserves to live out her life at home around her family, especially her great grand kids.

God bless you for choosing the right way, not the easiest way.
