[quote=Anonymous]My parents are in their early 80s and live about an hour away from me. I've been very fortunate in that, up to this point, my parents have remained independent and physically and mentally healthy. However, in the past year I have started to notice indications of mental decline in both - each parent forgetting conversations that they had with me, a parent who was always unflappable becoming easily irritated, etc. They are still driving but I think they shouldn't be. There's also the question of how much longer they can live independently. This board is an excellent resource for specific questions, but I really need an overall summary of everything I need to be considering and doing for this chapter of life. I would appreciate any suggestions for where or how I can learn the basics of caring for my parents in this stage.[/quote]
