Colorado_mom - that sounds like a fun situation for two young families!

CTTC - Interesting points. I wouldn’t want to burden my kids w/full-time care, certainly. But I’m thinking that maybe there is a middle ground re: elders in need of assistance (between ‘in a facility’ and ‘100% hands on care by family.’). Perhaps just having a family member who can check in with aides, call regularly, etc. Having someone close makes that easier, especially if everyone has full-time jobs (I did that for my parents while working).
