Concerned about the distance between you and your parents?

 Perhaps you have struggled with situations such as these:

• You’ve traveled to visit your mother for the holidays, and found her refrigerator nearly empty, her bills unpaid and her house in disarray.
• A neighbor has called you to report that your father was wandering in the street, unable to find the home he’s lived in for 30 years.
• Your mother has neglected to take her diabetes medications, severely compromising her health.
• Your very independent father fell and broke his hip, making it impossible to navigate the stairs in his home.

When your parents made the decision to retire down south, it seemed like a wonderful idea. However, the prospect of being unable to easily check on them when they might need assistance can be worrisome. Distance becomes increasingly problematic as parents age; so long-distance caregivers give serious consideration to moving their loved ones closer to them.

Opting for assisted living on Long Island could be the ideal solution. There are obviously logistical and psychological challenges in such a decision. The Arbors Assisted Living on Long Island has a representative in Florida who can help you work through the challenges of making this difficult decision. The Arbors also has relationships with many professionals, from Elder Care Attorneys to Financial Professionals and Veteran Program professionals.
