[quote=Anonymous]My grandfather chose an assisted living / nursing facility in the town where he'd lived for thirty years over moving near either of his adult children, who were about two hours and seven hours away. He had friends, neighbors, church community...that mattered to him and sustained him. In thinking of your mother's future, consider options in both places and compare them. Talk with your mom about how much you can reasonably do from afar, and whether she would find that enough, would rather hire some help or have you nearer. And think about how much you could do if she were near too. You might still have to hire help if you're still working full time as she needs assistance.[/quote]
