Many families argue over who HAS to take care of an aging parent.
In our case it was a little different. All four siblings were not only willing but eager to have our mother either move into their house, or to move into an independent or assisted living facility in their city, where they were eager to make daily visits. In November of 1996 mother moved to Orland, Florida where two of her four children, and five of her six grandchildren, lived. Initially she moved into Central Park Village, where she lived for two months, and then lived alternately with Bob and Stephanie and Brad and Sue for almost the next 2 years. She lived in a private room at NHC Orlando for 5 months.
