[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's great that your dad is still able to help her a lot but at 80 that could change at any  moment.  You could try to find some help now and gradually work them in, as another PP suggested.  Give yourself time in case the first one doesn't work out.  Your mother and also your father will likely need someone and if it can't be you, like you're not willing to move her to live with or near you, then now is the time to proactively put another support system in place.  That is assuming that an assisted living facility is not an option or a consideration.

The main point is, arrange things now while you can schedule your travel on your own terms rather than wait for a critical situation to happen that will disrupt your life with little warning.[/quote]

op - i have been asking them for years to get a place near me in the US (mother is a US citizen) but no matter how hard i try, they find a reason why it cannot be done. 
the advice about hiring a support before they need it is probably good - not sure how I would position this person..[/quote]
