[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elders move into a facility that (will eventually) accept their Medicare payment. That's it. It's not that difficult.

If you don't like what's nearby, they go to a lower COL area. [b]Where they have roots or elderly friends/siblings/where they once lived or where they grew up. Some connection. You visit.[/b] They meet and make connections in their new place. Being social with people other than family, that's on them and largely a personality thing you can't control.

Just wow. Cannot imagine feeling that way. So cold.[/quote]

Seriously. Ship your parent to a nursing home so they can be social in their new place. So cold. I hope your children treat you so well in your old age.

I go out of my way to visit my dad who is in and out of the hospital. I bring the grandkids to see him because it brings a smile to see my 5yo daughter. I tell my son that it is sad to visit my dad but it is duty and obligation. I try to model behavior that I hope they will replicate one day. I hope when I am in old age that my children will come visit me and bring my grandchildren.

I would be heartbroken if my children just sent me away.[/quote]
