Exactly! She does not have permission to ruin her son's family while they cater to her wants.
The issue seems to be son is happy as a clam with Mom living there because his wife is the one most impacted. It is easy to volunteer someone else to do the heavy lifting.

I agree.
It was very revealing about the situation when the OP asked her husband what he would do if he was a stay at home dad and her mother moved into their house, and he responded "I would leave and play golf all day."

It seems to me that even if separate quarters were available to the MIL, that as soon as she gets sick or unable to manage getting a bowl of cereal or bathe herself that OP's husband will be expecting her to do the caretaking.
The MIL is back and there's going to be trouble....do dah do dah....the MIL is back. I know, not funny. And now I have an earworm.
I am almost betting the DH will be bringing his Mother back home when/if he goes to Nevada to tell her she's staying with the siblings in person.

I would hate it if you are right, but I am sorry to say that I agree with you and am worried that those two things will happen.
Gosh, maybe OP should move her Mom in fast or better yet her great aunt Sylvia!
