Should my father-in-law move from independent living to a nursing home?

My father in law is in an indepedent living facility. Recently he has stopped getting out of bed to eat or go to restroom. Hospice has gotten involved and comes in three times weekly and say we need to get a sitter for him. My question, under these circumstances should he be in a nursing home.

What does his Physician say about it? Good luck to you.

Financially it takes all his S.S and pension plus what we can provide at this time. There is a home across steet from where he is now and run by same organzation,so he would not be any further away

Can you get someone to stay with your FIL where he is?

Does the hospice program have a Hospice House?

Does Hospice recommend a nursing home if you can't arrange a sitter?
