[quote=Anonymous]I intend to do nothing. I moved here 30 years ago, so it's been a long time and a lot has changed since. I have a sibling living locally. To be honest, in Europe they don't prolong the lives of elderly to such extent as here, as they don't do all the last minute operations and the like. I don't expect decades of care as seems to be more and more common here. Most of my distant elderly relatives there have passed after emergencies or a quick illness (several died of Covid). I think realistically if you have a local sibling, they'll get to check in. If not, hire someone to do that, could be a relative. I don't intend to move anyone as they don't have health insurance here, don't speak the language, don't know anyone, which would mean they'd be entirely reliant on me. I'm not retired nor childless, so am unable to take this on. [/quote]
