[quote=Anonymous]I can't figure out how crazy this idea is. My parents are 80 years old and live 2 hours away. They have been in the same house for 50 years, but due to recent health issues (a fall) they have needed extra care of late. Even before the health issues, they were considering moving out of their home. Finances are not a problem (they have substantial savings, a good pension and long-term care insurance.) Meanwhile, my neighbor just told me that she will be selling her house in the spring (we are in a row house and share a wall.) My neighbor's house is handicapped accessible, as her husband was in a wheelchair. I am thinking my parents should buy it and, if the time comes, use their long-term care insurance to have help come in. I would be next door and could provide company, assistance with errands, connection to family, etc. It seems like it makes sense, but maybe I'm crazy. Thoughts? [/quote]
