[quote=Anonymous]People are living much longer and it's unrealistic to expect one sibling to do the lion's share simply because they chose to live near the parent. Can they afford outsourcing? If so, talk to him about having them use their money to hire a case manager who checks on them and coordinates all care. An accountant can manage their finances or you can even hire a bookeeper. There are services for this. The case mananger can hire out people to drive them to appointments and even aides to come with them. If they cannot afford any of this you need to speak with the council and aging and figure out what can be done. This is unsustainable. Also, watch the attitude about how "he chose to live there." If he chooses to move overseas then you are the one living closer and you chose to do that! Focus on solutions not playing hot potato.[/quote]
