[quote=Anonymous]This was us. Dad with cancer and mom with dementia. She probably needed a facility and he probably needed a residential hospice but they insisted on staying alone in their rickety old house. We all spent a fortune on plane tickets, going in to look after them. We signed them up for home health aides who they refused to let in the house, etc. After he died, we were able to get my mom into assisted living and will shortly have to move her to a skilled nursing facility - but at least she is nearer to us and we don't have to buy plane tickets anymore and there is only one to look after. Yes, two parents with health issues is definitely a double whammy. [/quote]
