When Aging Parents Refuse To Move: How To Overcome Resistance

It Happens With Aging Parents At A Distance

Like many adult children with aging parents, the brother and sister in this true scenario were increasingly worried about their 90-year-old Mom who lived alone. Mom had cognitive impairment, probably dementia, but it had never been formally diagnosed. The siblings are in their 60s with full time careers. Fortunately, they have a good working relationship with each other and they share responsibility. They both invested time in figuring out a solution. Mom lived across the country and had no other family to look after her anywhere nearby. Sis had a vacant apartment in her city which she used as an alternative works space at times. That might do as an interim step for changing Mom to a new residence.
