Possibly a little clickbaity, but it was a first hand experience from the author. There are likely thousands of examples of this exact scenario playing out every year: $old_family_member needs assistance and all of the options cost $small_fortune. What do we do? I think the theme is important rather than the _exact_ details of this particular situation.
