[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks, these are all good ideas. I think just basing myself near or with my sister snd then just heading out to where they live or end up would be for the best. My family would be able to handle better. I’d like kids to see them but also limit the time so it doesn’t take up a week. Maybe make it a stop on the way to somewhere else.

Getting a case manager or someone else to check in on them and handle light shopping would be ideal. I’m afraid they may not accept that but they will just have to. I know deep down they want the dutiful adult daughters wearing themselves out as their own parents had done. My grandmother was fiercely independent until she developed health issues and declined and  died within a few months.

For the time being I think they want to hang out to their house, which is too big. They could sell it for a killing and move to a nice spot still within a hour or two of friends but won’t do it.

If they are fine, leave them be.  Go for a 2-3 day visit, not a week.[/quote]
