Hi all, I am an immigrant working on h1b and my parents are getting old and they would ultimately need me more with them. I try to travel twice a year back home but mostly end up just going once. I feel really bad seeing them alone. How do people with similar situations deal with it? Which companies allow flexible remote working? Tc 136
Harsh reality. What was the deal between your parents and grandparents on either side? I am personally looking for good, nice, pleasant retirement communities for my aging parents.
We need to look at this from a different perspective. we think of what we want to do not what they need. I moved my dad here with me after my mother passed away, coz I wanted to be a good son, but ended up spending very less time. Me and my wife were working, weekends would be busy running errands and time with friends. During one of my visits to India, I found a good retirement community in Panjab, so we went to check it out. It was awsome, better than a 4Star resort. My dad immediately made friends and did not come back with us. Since then he is so happy, he has made friends, they play board games, there is a in house movie theatre from movies/cricket, food is amazing. I talk to him over FaceTime every few days and visit 1-2 times a year. Its the best thing I did for him. There is a level of social stigma and Some of my relatives don’t think very highly of my decision until they go and visit my father
Care to share the name of the city / town, community, any additional information will be greatly appreciated.

Half the world is evil. Deal with it buddy. You're doing good. I get you but you're no match for the evil
Pay your friends and cousins to visit your parents and take care of them.
This is treating friends and family like professional paid maid-help!! Disgusting!! Disrespectful!! Nobody would do that!!
I would look at it in a more optimistic way ... my dad’s brother is not very well to do but at this old age they love to meet and spend time So my dad pays for his uber fare and they get to spend time together
If you absolutely can’t be there enough, hire an in home assistant based on their needs. Install cameras to monitor their safety and provide them with some type of video chat that they can contact you visually if they desire. Send care packages often.

Is it cheaper to eat chipotle everyday than buy groceries ?
I fly home once a year, my mom comes to US once a year. Also I try to send mom on vacation somewhere in Europe once or twice a year. Eventually I think I will try to move my mom to US, but my American GF isn’t too enthusiastic about it :-/
What a cold hearted girl. Time to go endgame on that relationship and find a more caring girl
Is it? The OP must be foreign because it’s quite unusual for that to happen on the US.
