Long-Distance Caregiving: Loving and Supporting Parents From Afar

When your parents live hundreds or thousands of miles away, a single phone call can send your heart racing. You want to be there — but you can't always be. This compassionate, practical guide helps you navigate the unique challenges of caring for aging parents from afar. Drawing on decades of collective experience from social workers, geriatric care managers, and fellow long-distance caregivers, it offers actionable strategies for staying connected, coordinating healthcare, managing emergencies, and preserving your own well-being. You'll learn how to build a reliable care team, use technology wisely, handle financial and legal matters with confidence, and make those precious visits truly count. Most importantly, you'll find permission to let go of guilt and embrace the role you can play — from a distance — with love, clarity, and strength. Whether your parents are in the early stages of needing help or facing advanced care decisions, this book will become your steady companion. Part of The Sagewell Wellness Library.
