[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father paid for his mother's expenses but minor emergencies were always dealt with by his local sisters, which was a perfect arrangement. He did not need to travel unless it was a question of life and death, which happened once when I was a teenager - she recovered. And sadly, when my Japanese grandma did pass away, it was during the pandemic when Japan was in complete lockdown, and none of us living abroad could visit. [/quote] With easy availability of affordable healthcare and in home 24 hr caregivers there, specially if overseas kids are paying for it, its really not that difficult for local family to supervise it, more so if they are inheriting house etc. All of this didn't feel as difficult in earlier decades but now touching 60's, its tough with looming retirement and our own health problems complicating it.
