It's a situation that faces Boomers every day.
Parents getting old, frail, needing more and more care.
My husband's father fell this past week and broke his rib. Luckily, he is still able to live at home and be cared for by his wife, my husband's mother. But how long can that last? He's fallen three times in the past couple of months, this last time was the worst one. We worry about them every day. The hard part is that they live in Texas, hundreds of miles away.
I'm lucky that my parents are both alive and well, too. But they live in Florida. Even further.
As Boomers and their parents get older, the worries are going to get worse, not better.
I don't know the answer.
