[quote=Anonymous] It does not sound like OP going to her home country could accomplish much at this point. If you could get a time set up with just your mom to speak to her to see what things she might benefit from that makes more sense. Before you can help, you have to know what she feels she needs as it is unlikely your dad will be that open to expressing his wants. You could do some research to see what services are available in your parents local area in terms of care places where those with dementia or physical ailments might transition to. Or if there is a way to employ folks for very little money, then find a way that you could pay a person directly for services or try it with your mom first. You might also try to work on your end to set up a way for you to travel over to see them when it really is needed ahead of time as with care for your young children via friends, in-laws etc. and set up a fund with your husband to be able to travel.[/quote]
