[quote=Anonymous]It is tough. Even a parent in assisted living may need a fair amount of care from you -- someone to go with them to doctor's appts, to advocate if meds aren't working/are having negative side effects, report new symptoms to various doctors, coordinate care between all the doctors and other medical staff (PT, care givers, etc.) If the parent has in home care, you need to be the "boss" of the caregivers -- manage schedules, do payroll/taxes, deal with conflicts etc. If you have a parent with a slow moving debilitating condition (i.e., dementia, or something else that won't kill them but will require a lot of care) you may have to play this role for a long time.
