Perhaps you can plan day trips for hubby and yourself, to the bucolic areas

So much to see and do in New England and change of scenery now and again may lift spirits all around. (Get help for assisting hubby as needed, family or otherwise.)
Maybe niece will send occasional photos of family enjoying the lake and grounds.
