Thank you for this story! I am just starting to figure out how to care for my parents. They are still independent, but I can see the writing on the wall. My husband and I are first time grandparents-to-be, and would like to move states to be near our grandchild within the next year. I was hoping my parents would move as well so I could help care for them as they need more of it. Mom is on board. Dad is not. I don't think I can move without them, so we've got to figure something out. Sigh.
Great article happy to share it to my email list. Thanks for the mention of my article. Rhonda
Thank you so much.
It definitely is a challenging decision.
Certainly plenty of conversation.
If you are also planning to move, perhaps a co-living arrangement? Maybe a duplex.
If they are still healthyish and independent, now would be the time for a move.
Later will definitely be harder and more complicated.
Encourage the benefits of having everyone nearby.
