[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I grew up, three generations lived under one roof. But I recognize that American majority don’t love and care for their elders. I cannot believe how many are just so nonchalant about putting your parents in a facility. [/quote]

Nobody is talking about out putting their parents in a facility on this thread. You sound like another one of those that talks the talk but hasn’t actually walked it. Come back after you have actually done what you think is so easy to do. [/quote]

Nothing wrong with a facility.  My parents live 3K miles from me (and the other sibling is 1.5K miles away and useless, hasn't visited them in 15 years).  They are in a CCRC so that they have the care they need.  for now it's independent living, but we love knowing that they have the advanced care right there should they ever require it, they will be moved to the next level of care immediately.  They won't move closer to me, and quite frankly, we travel and are on the go, so it's difficult to count on us if an emergency happens and I'm 6K miles away on a trip.  This way they have the care they need, they are happy, and we are too
