How to Care for an Aging Parent When You're Far Away

Caring for an aging or elderly parent or grandparent can be emotionally, logistically, and financially complicated.

If you're one of nearly 7 million Americans providing long-distance care, these arrangements be even more challenging.

Thankfully, this is not a rhetorical question. De Baca offers these six tips with insight and resources for each:

  • Consider moving Mom or Dad in with you
  • Get the facts
  • Be in touch – often
  • Plan and budget for your travel
  • Choose the appropriate primary caregiver and services
  • Learn about sources of financial help
