So Far Away: Twenty Questions for Long-Distance Caregivers
1. What is long-distance caregiving? Am I the only one who’s trying to help out from a distance?
10. What kinds of documents do we need? It sounds like caregiving requires a lot of paperwork.
11. Should I encourage my parents to get more help? The last time I visited, my mom seemed very confused, like she just wasn’t quite there. Dad didn’t seem to notice and didn’t want to talk about it when I asked him.
12. How can we make the house safer for my mother who has Alzheimer’s disease? I’m worried about her safety.
13. How can I help lighten the load for my mother? Over the years Dad’s condition has worsened, and now when we talk Mom sounds exhausted.
14. How can I help my folks decide if it’s time for them to move? I don’t think they can stay in their own home much longer. Should I suggest that they move to my home? Move to assisted living? I’m at a loss.
15. What happens if my mother gets too sick to stay at home? She is terrified of ending up in an institution and has asked me to promise that I won’t “put her” in a nursing home. It is hard for me to figure out what to say.
16. How is it that long-distance caregiving makes me feel so guilty all the time? I thought being so far away would be easier than this.
17. How can I be sure that my father’s caregiver isn’t mistreating him? Everything has been fine so far, but I’m worried that as his mental status deteriorates, something harmful might happen.
18. How can I help my parents think about their future health care preferences? Since my mother was diagnosed with cancer, we’ve heard a lot about the importance of advance care planning. How do we do that?
19. What is the difference between an advance directive and a living will? The terms are confusing. Since my father is still relatively healthy, what kinds of instructions should I help him think about now?
2. How will I know if help is needed? Uncle Bill sounds fine on the phone, how can I trust that?
20. What if I’m told Mom only has a few months to live? I can’t fly out to be with her for that long, but I want her to know that I am here for her.
3. What can I really do from far away? I don’t feel comfortable just jumping in.
4. How can my family decide who does what? My brother lives closest to our grandmother, but he’s uncomfortable coordinating her health care.
5. Are there things I can do that will help me feel less frustrated? What can I do to take care of myself?
6. What is a geriatric care manager and how can I find one? A friend of mine thought that having a professional “on the scene” to help my dad would take some of the pressure off me.
7. How can I keep up with my mom’s medical care? I don’t know where to start.
8. How can I make the most of a visit with my parent’s doctor? I don’t want to waste the doctor’s time.
9. How on earth can my parents afford everything they need? They saved money for retirement, but the cost of their health care is really high.

Research Goal A: Improve our understanding of healthy aging and disease and disability among older adults.
Research Goal B: Continue to develop and disseminate information about interventions to reduce disease and disability and improve the health and quality of life of older adults.
Research Goal C: Improve our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias of aging, and the aging brain. Develop drug and behavioral interventions for treating these diseases, preventing their onset and progression, and maintaining health.
Research Goal D: Improve our understanding of the consequences of an aging society and provide that information to inform intervention development and policy decisions.
Research Goal E: Improve our ability to reduce health disparities and eliminate health inequities among older adults.
Research Goal F: Support the infrastructure and resources needed to promote high-quality research and communicate its results.
