[quote=Anonymous]My parents in upstate NY have been talking about moving closer to me for at least a decade. For a while I researched places out in more rural VA (they don't like the city and I'm in DC proper). I figured an hour to 90 minutes away is much better than 5-6 hours. After a few years I had to step off because as much as they talked about moving, they never actually did anything to work on it. I think like a PP said, the logistics are just too overwhelming to them. And I (only kid) don't have the bandwidth to figure it out for them. Plus they have lived in that area their whole lives so it would be a big move. So now they are still in a house with lots of stairs and only two rooms with A/C, while my dad's mobility is deteriorating and my mom gets sick whenever it's too hot. I've accepted that nothing will change until it has to change. I was hoping to be proactive but now I will be happy if they find an appropriate housing situation near where they are now. [/quote]
