I manage the care of my invalid parents from long distance. They live in Chicago in the house they bought in 1958 and I live in Miami. I have made all caregiver decisions and travel to Chicago monthly for more than four years! Perhaps reading about my journey can help you. see my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdXoyf2ByPU
