Ugh! Been through it with my own parents and then the wife's later on. One of the more heart-wrenching aspects of aging.....moving her into a MIL suite or a small separate house are temporary solutions, expensive and, unfortunately, things can accelerate suddenly.....sooner or later will require help that you aren't prepared to give.
Having a "live-in" aid didn't work with my Dad; he took a cruel pleasure in running those kind people off after a time. Many on here with lots of experience in this area, but you should consider consulting with an "elder care" attorney.
Best thing I did in my Dad's case....they can guide you through various options and at least get you the legal backup to handle her affairs as things deteriorate - and they will, sadly.
