There are lots of stories about grown kids moving in with their parents or grandparents because of the tough job market. However, the opposite is also happening: parents, especially elderly parents, are moving in with their kids.
The AARP has an article that helps you prepare for an aging parent moving in. It explores topics that one should consider before the move happens such as:
– Remodeling and renovation costs
– Cost of hiring medical or professional help
– Changes in government aid
– Tax breaks that become available
There are many difficulties and issues that come with helping an aging parent move. Luckily, there are senior move managers that specialize in the issues a senior will face when moving. The National Association of Senior Move Managers can help find a senior move manager near you on their Find a Senior Move Manager page.
