As someone who has had two older people who were at home virtually till the end - my mother-in-law (she finally died in the hospital after a very short stay) and her mum (who died at home) who were both terminally ill and bedridden for a while before they died, I have to say that the inconvenience to the rest of us was worth it because it enabled them be with the family, be part of what the family was doing etc.. And so also the family benefited from being with them till the end. It did require having nursing help at home and it did cost some money - but it was still cheaper than being admitted in a hospice or a hospital.
