[quote=Anonymous]If they can move to assisted living in their town, that seems fine, but what’s not fine is them continuing to do nothing. I’d just talk with them frankly. “Mom, dad, I live far away, what do you want to do in terms of arranging things so that when you need care you can get it? Do you want to move someplace in your town, move to assisted living near me, what are you thinking?” If what they want is not to move, can they afford in home care? Can you find a local geriatric care manager and start a relationship now so that if someone has a fall, you have someone local and lined up to help find in home aides, etc? The worst thing you could do is keep going with no Frank discussion about the need for action. [/quote]
