[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they might be better off really close to one of their children, rather than in the middle of the children but not near any of them. Soon it will be constant every-little-thing needs, and it'll be a drag if you have to drive more than an hour.

Does this beach location have great medical care?[/quote]

Yes, and it's an hour from my oldest brother - so still pretty close.  I'm the furtherest away (but the only daughter, which for some reasons my brothers tend to defer to me on this stuff).  There is a hospital about 10 driving minutes from the place we are looking - and my younger brother makes a LOT of money and plans to hire a care worker to come check on them daily.[/quote]

Is there a reason you and your siblings aren’t considering a move near one of you? I can’t see my parents moving away from the place they’ve lived for years to still be an hour from the nearest one of us.  From their vantage point a care worker is a stranger. Why give up their familiar area and social lives, however limited they are, for that situation?[/quote]
