[quote=Anonymous]My parents' CCRC was further away and my friends' mom's is closer, but we both found that what worked for us was regular phone calls (find a schedule that you know you can keep to, because they will be counting on it) and visits that involved some task and some hanging out. So, for example, my friend was taking her mom out for breakfast and errands on Saturdays, which left the rest of the weekend free for her family, and then it turned out that there was one night that her mom hated dinner at her AL place, so my friend started doing a takeout-and-laundry evening. They chatted while they folded. [/quote]
