My sister turned the living room into a care room for Mom and Dad. We all pitched in to help. I’m thankful they could be with family.

That is similar to my mom when she had ALS - her den became her room and my sister and I took turns caring for her for about 6 months. We had a hospice caregiver near the end to care for her overnight.

In my house, our bedroom is the best setup - it is on the main floor, and has a bright, sunny, sitting area that will fit a hospital bed and recliner. We were going to do the same with my MIL who had end-stage cancer but she died in the hospital as we were getting it all set up. :-(

It’s nice that you all pitched in. My husband’s siblings would, but they all live out of state so we are on our own. My boys are very helpful though, especially with running errands and such.
