Crazy propositions, I know. But drastic times calls for drastic measures -- or at least considerations of drastic measures. Additionally, it would allow some level of care for the aging parents.
Esp with proposition #2, I cannot see it working out well at all, even when the parents and inlaws are generally on good terms under normal social circumstances. But suppose the main floor and the basement suite can function as separate and independent units, each with its own kitchen, bathroom, etc (but I would imagine a shared laundry area, with the possibility of having 2 separate washing / drying machines). Is it at all do-able?

We did #1 when we moved back from Toronto while looking for a place instead of renting for a few months It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be and I'm super happy and fortunate that the inlaws were ok with it. They don't have anyone renting or using their basement so it was perfect.
I just can't imagine doing #2 at all mostly because my mom drives me crazy lol. It'd have to be separate enough that it seems like we're not even living in the same house.
