[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak to the financial aspect of it, but when I was young my grandmother moved down the street from us so she could be closer to my Dad as she aged. I know he appreciated having her close, both to spend time with her and to be able to help with the practicalities of life (shovelling snow, driving, household stuff, company, and eventually doctor's appointments, etc) and it was a great thing for me as a child to be able to see her so often. This was a cross country move for her so she had to find new medical care and friends but I don't think she or my Dad (or my Dad's sister) ever regretted it; she was legally blind by the time she moved and I think living independently (which was what she wanted above all else) would have been impossible for her toward the end if she'd stayed on the West Coast.[/quote]
