Taking care of aging parents from abroad

Taking care of aging parents from abroad might require more than you can imagine. Even if you know how "things work" in the country they are living, or maybe you lived there yourself...

In this series I share my own experience with taking care of my parents from abroad. They lived in Germany – their country of origin, but one I never lived in myself. I know the language, I thought I'd know what to expect, but there were so many aspects that my sister and I didn't foresee. What might work in one country, is daunting and very complicated in another one... And some countries seem to make it easier for the family than others.
