It can go from doable to impossible in short amount of time, it's hard enough if you have a relative in hospital that needs geriatric care, but doing it at home, with no background in that kind of care,
without the tools they have , then it can potentially bring you down completely in terms of time and stress.

I spent much time with my grandmother, and saw the decline happen, she was in a nursing home, but the last months she was in hospital.
Now that one month , i can't imagine doing that at home with just 2 people, without experience, without the equipment. It would be difficult enough even with equipment and a nurse assisting during day time.

And the point is, there's nothing that says it will only take a month, my grandma seemed to be improving, and next day her heart gave in. But otherwise, she was ready to go back to the home for the medical problems (broken pelvis in a fall), but she would have been medically stable, but very much needing help with everything.

And then there's the other possible scenarios, alzheimer and dementia and others.... It will break the old person, and you 2 along with it...

This is a recipe for disaster if you 2 aren't 100% informed about what might be required, and if not 100% sure you feel up to it after you are informed...
