How many people genuinely care about their parents' wellbeing and how many are just happy to ship them to a facility, provided it mets a minimal standard of care? It's an earnest question - I wonder what the proportions are.
My wife and I have two sets of parents facing these issues and want to help take care of them. The main blocker is that neither one will move to our city, and we've tried repeatedly. The thing people often miss about caring for older people is that they have preferences too: preferences that often get stronger with age.
