[quote=Anonymous]One more thing, there are even services to do all bill paying, but auto pay isn't that hard to set up. He will push about against outsiders helping him, but you need to train him NOT to accept that. Let's say he needs cataract surgery which is no big deal. I would travel there if you can, but hire an aide for the day just so he starts to get used to someone in the house. It may seem like a waste of money (because you really just need a driver), but it's practice and it forces him to adjust to not expecting you at the drop of the hat. Let's say one day he needs knee surgery. Recovery varies so much. He may need a PT visiting the home and a person to drive him for a while and an aide and meals prepared. If you have him used to hired help, you just visit and make sure he is OK and make a favorite meal and keep him happy without burning out playing nursemaid, chef, etc.[/quote]
