Helping elderly grandparents move.?

You can't make it happen unless they are also willing and able to cooperate with this plan. They may find a move simply too disruptive and difficult to face at their ages. They might love the home they built together and prefer a warmer climate. You might want to spend a couple of weeks visiting them if you are able, so you can see how they are managing for yourself and spend time discussing their plans for the future. In their late seventies, your grandparents are not necessarily senile.

I work in the senior industry. So, first you need to talk to them. You need to see if they are open to the idea of moving. Their generation is the one of self reliance- the idea of getting help is unacceptable to most of them. So keep that in mind. When you have this talk remember it is not about what they CAN'T do, it needs to be about what they CAN still do. Think about how this move will benefit you and make sure your present that as well. Here are some examples of ways you can present it.

Its not: Grandma you are in and out of the hospital. We want you to be closer so we can help.

Make it: Grandma, I am worried about Mom, Every time you go into the hospital, Mom goes out of her mind because you are so far a way and she can not be with you. Have you thought about maybe moving closer? I know I sure would love to spend more time with you. And having you closer would ease moms mind.

See what I did there? Do you see how I didn't make it about her failing heath but about her daughters worry?

talk to your grandparents about it and invite them to come live with you, thats all you can do, its their choice if they want to move or not, you can also hire someone to help them out
