[quote=Anonymous] OP - If you live out of the area, your best bet would be to do research in advance and then come out to your folks with appointments set up at a couple of agencies or a couple of geriatric care managers with your folks where they could meet and talk about their needs now and what they might need/like in the future assistance with. Once there is no driver, you really are looking at a direct care service so you want a reputable one and to know the costs ahead of time. Depending upon your parents' age and stages, it might be worth a shot to buy them the simplest electronic device where they might learn to be in touch with you, to order their groceries online for delivery etc. Or work with a geriatric care manager to build a relationship with them and hire the basic service they need now. You might also look around at options for the future on a CCRC, AL, Memory, Skilled Nursing to know what service providers they prefer and what they can afford. [/quote]
