My mom's house (probably roughly the same age as TG's mother's house) is starting to really break down: plumbing problems, roof, fence etc. Fortunately she is moving to assisted living on the 12th, after about a year to persuade her. We are going to leave most of the stuff in the house and just toss it/donate it once she moves. I know we will need a dumpster rental.
She is going to be 87 this year, and for several years just could not handle cooking and cleaning. We've had live-in care (non-medical) since she broke her hip, so they feed her and do the laundry (and we have cleaners) but it is ridiculously expensive and assisted living will be much cheaper. Also she should be more active since she will have to walk to the dining room. As it is she won't leave the house unless she is with me or Christina or my brother, so she just sits most of the time.
