Yeah. The situaction is complicated by me living with my family in NJ while mom is in FL.
Were it not for my kids still being at the high school/college age, I'd retire and my wife, who is an MD and a bit yonger and can find a job anywhere, would move nearby.
But right now it is not in the cards. And I simply cannot drive back and forth frequently, the distance being 970 miles. Flying is also prohibitive due to other aspects of it vs the situation where the travel is required.
Mom is lucky to have friends who help, and, as Holocaus survivor, she gets a bit of help from this program where she has some hours for a home attendant.
But as the time passes, this situation is not going to get better.
So...I am not planning long term, I just hope that she recovers enough not to suffer and be mobile and so to become self-sufficient enough again, so she could get about the house and drive short distances to supermarkets/doctors and such.

Getting old has its bright spots. But it sucks in general.
