Changing Aging

If you ask most Americans, I have to think that they want care in the community that they call home, not overseas.  However, this article, which originally appeared in the Chicago Tribune earlier this week, features a son who moved his father and himself to India for long-term care that cost less than it does here in the U.S.  This is a phenomenon that we’ve heard about with surgery, such as hip replacements, but the first time that we’ve seen it in long-term care.

The article raises all kinds of questions:  How we care for seniors in America . . . how we pay for care . . . how we look at aging . . . .
