At 86 years old my father is in essence incredibly healthy for such a formidable age. However, recently he’s started to experience some health, or daily living issues, that a 5,000 mile distance only serves to exacerbate.
My sister and I both live in Houston, whilst dad still lives in the UK. He’s in sheltered accommodation, so flats that have a warden present during the day but are otherwise for independent living. No care in terms of medical assistance or any other daily assistance is provided in this particular accommodation.
