@laura42 I see that you are new to Mayo Clinic Connect. Welcome! You are in a tough situation. It’s always difficult to have an extra person in the house, unless you live in a mansion! What were the reasons that led your MIL to live with you? Is she independent? I found this earlier discussion about the same problem.

I hope @srdatt and @kim9876 will respond and you can share ideas. Have you looked at apartments or assisted living places near you. It might be just what your MIL needs and wants.
Can you and your husband have a good, honest discussion about the matter?

We love her and want her to be with us. Her secondary insurance, Inclusa will only pay for a group home at this point, and us as a family, including her to feel comfortable with that. When she is doing well it’s not as stressful but my life is so full know that I am overwhelmed. Thank you for the links to other persons post.
