My FIL's health is declining and it is getting increasingly difficult to help him physically. My in-laws have around the clock caregivers but I'm beginning to think he needs more assistance than what they can offer. Would Hospice be able to offer more help than what they are currently getting from the caregivers? My guess is that he may soon need to be placed in an ALF. I know my MIL will do everything to keep him home but his safety and that of the caregivers is at risk. Has anybody been through something similar to this?

If he's not considered terminal, then you'll have to look elsewhere for help. Generally, you can hire an in-home care agency to help fill-in if he goes to assisted living, though it sounds like he may be ready for a nursing home.
Good luck. You have a challenging situation.
