[quote=Anonymous]I have an aunt who is widowed and childless. I will likely be responsible for managing her care at some point in the future. She lives several states away from me. We do not have much of a relationship as she cut me off for decades because she did not get along with my mother. Now she is alone and is scared about how she will manage now that her health is deteriorating. What’s the best way to handle caregiving for relatives in this situation? I don’t want to move her close to me because DH and I relocate every couple of years for work. I also do not want to have her in my home because I think there is untreated mental illness involved, hence her estrangement with all other relatives. Should I find housing for her and periodically visit? What about when she has a health emergency? I can’t be there quickly. She might need to start dialysis soon. What do people do in these situations?[/quote]
