The better question in this regard is “what do I need to
ask?” The idea here is that you need to ask yourself, your parents, and anyone
else involved what needs have arisen already, and where the future will take
you. For instance, depending on a diagnosis the answers here could change
greatly.
If considering home health care the questions you should ask
are things like:
- A tough question - When should my parents stop driving
- Who will take care of them
- Who will pay for it
·
Is home health a long-term or short-term
solution

The key to any plan for later years is tailoring to fit your
family’s specific needs. Remember, your
parents are the captain of their ship.
