PLANS MADE NOW EASE FEAR FOR ELDERLY PARENTS' FUTURE
DEAR ABBY: "Afraid for the Future in San Antonio, Texas"
(Oct. 25), expressed concerns about having to provide care
for her aging parents and in-laws. While the sentiments you
conveyed were true, your answer didn't go far enough.
"Afraid's" concerns are legitimate. While ill and elderly
parents may die quickly, it's also entirely possible that
they won't. People are living longer and prolonging life by
any means, so the problem of long-term care and the financial
and emotional burdens placed on adult children are very real.
"Afraid" and her husband need to have an honest conversation
with both sets of parents about the level of help they are
willing to offer. They should also research resources with
their state's Department on Aging and check into supportive
living facilities that accept Medicare. The preparation they
do in advance will go a long way toward making their parents'
elder years easier for everyone.
-- LAURA IN MONTGOMERY, ILL.
DEAR LAURA: You're right. Crossing one's fingers and thinking
positive does not go far enough. Thank you for offering a
pragmatic approach to "Afraid's" dilemma. You were among many
readers who shared helpful experiences and resources.

DEAR ABBY: I found a lovely assisted living facility for my
parents when they were unable to care for themselves. They
had a private one-bedroom apartment, and Medicaid paid for
most of it. The facility had medical aides and a nurse,
social activities, three meals a day plus snacks if they
wished, with transportation included.
After Dad died in 2007, Mom stayed on, surrounded by friends
her own age. She keeps busy with life enrichment activities.
"Afraid" should check with her state's senior services for
help.
-- GAIL IN ASHLAND, ORE.
DEAR ABBY: It is never too late to prepare for the future.
That young couple should INSIST their parents see an elder
care attorney NOW. This is a serious issue, and they should
not risk the future of their marriage or children because
their parents were selfish or ignorant. Everyone will be
better off if they make an effort to educate themselves and
their parents today.
-- BURDENED DAUGHTER IN FLORIDA
DEAR ABBY: A more proactive response would have been to en-
courage "Afraid" to seek information on nursing and elder
care options, including free-care funds through larger nur-
sing centers. Then she and her husband should discuss their
concerns, rather than ignore them. They may find greater
peace once they know all the options.
-- TRYING TO HELP IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR ABBY: All parties need to sit down and have a frank
discussion about what the financial expectations are and
what will happen if their money runs out. "Afraid" and her
husband should have their parents speak to a financial ad-
viser, who can give them a realistic picture of what their
life will be like unless they make provisions now. If they
cannot have their parents move in with them, that fact needs
to be clearly stated.
-- COLLEEN IN PITTSBURGH
DEAR ABBY: My paternal grandmother lived with us while I was
growing up. There were annoyances, of course, but it seemed
totally natural to me. Grandma helped with us kids, making
dinner and doing laundry. She always had time to read to us
or do jigsaw puzzles.
When my husband's grandmother was no longer able to live on
her own, she moved in with us until she passed. It was from
her that I learned how to knit and how to make a pie crust
from scratch. It was the most wonderful experience knowing
she was happy in life. The wisdom, love and care we received
from her shaped our lives.
