so if you want to reply directly to someone's post so they get notification, that works. I just happened to check back for anyone else's suggestions.

Another option that would keep her at home would be to hire caregivers to come into the home for a while.

Either option: be cautious and do your due diligence so she gets really good care. It's not always easy to find a place or person you can really feel is trustworthy, in either case. The suggestion to take some time to substitute for your SIL yourself, if you can swing it, will probably give you the most peace of mind.

Good luck.
