Each state has the Council on Aging, and HICAP. The benefits available are wonderful. Rather than run away, try educating not only yourself, but grandma, and the rest of the family now. Education about aging and options are available for free through seminars, open houses, resource placement.
We are all terrified of change, and alone it is a daunting experience. Moving past the denial and into solution is freeing, and enjoyable. You may even find that grandma will be much happier to be a participant than treated like a child and told.
Stop dumping and start planning. You will be her soon enough, and what will you do.
