It could be time to start investigating senior living options. You mentioned your parents have health problems. Depending on the severity, there are different types of senior living. Independent living is for elders who are relatively independent but need the convenience of certain services, as well as social interaction with others their age. Assisted living is for those with health problems who do not need 24-hour care by doctors and nurses. If 24-hour care is needed, a skilled nursing facility or nursing home is the best option. Check out the housing section of the website for more info on the different types of housing.
