First of all, tons of glow heading your way, you're going to need it. My husband was ill with cancer for three years before his death and it was often a trying time. One thing for sure, familiar surroundings can make a big difference in a patients outlook on life. And yes there are places you can get assistance in home care. Talk to the doctors, they usually know whats available. The last few months with my husband, I was able to get a visiting nurse on a daily basis to help with bathing, medicines, etc. and also with a certain amount of cleaning, things like keeping his room clean, changing his bed, it was a great help...and I agree, it may not cost as much as you think to make the house handicap accessible.
