[quote=Anonymous]Anyone have divorced parents where one moved away, or remarried, or just gradually distanced themselves until there was only a few calls a year and possibly a short visit every few years? What would you do if a hospital social worker called to let you know this parent could no longer care for themselves and there were few options for him/her? Some social workers just assume that the son or daughter will just step in and either provide housing or help find a place for that parent regardless of how much that parent may have distanced themselves over time. Would you agree to do POA for that parent? What if whatever decision you make is going to involve at the very least a minimal investment of your time or money and you have been saving for your own retirement? This is for a parent who made poor financial decisions but is not yet eligible for long term care.[/quote]
