[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of caretaking are we talking about when everyone lives 1000+ miles away? [/quote] Letters and phone calls can be a part of caretaking. Older people sometimes spend more time alone, so a chatty phone call can be a real boon to their spirit. I lived across the country from my parents when they were elderly and spent hours on the phone just chatting with them as I cleaned and cooked and did yard work around my house. They enjoyed just having someone to talk to. I couldn’t physically be with them regularly- we were stationed far away because of military service and I had three young children to take care of. But I could “visit” with them on the phone and they seemed to enjoy that. [/quote]
