Scenario

When families help elderly parents relocate but can't help them truly settle

My mom moved to be closer to us after Dad died and we all thought it would help her, but she's more isolated here than she was back home and my wife and I are realizing we don't know how to help her build a new life at 68 when we're still figuring out our own.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Good intentions collide with the reality that moving toward family cannot replace the deep roots of a lifetime community.
