My parents are 85 and 87 years old respectively. They are physically okay but unable to live alone and are terribly stressed after the hurricane.
They visited one place but found the rooms too small.
Now my mother is totally stressed, not sleeping and on the edge of a burnout.
I would love to help but I myself live in The Netherlands and am chronically ill. My nephew and brother-in-law have been trying to help them but they work fulltime.
Is there an organization who can walk my parents through this and discuss all the financial aspects and basically take this out of their hands?

I would also make up a list of questions about what the facility offers in terms of care. Some are all inclusive others are "ala carte." Then get it in writing.
I would avoid those that charge a large "up front" or a "buy in" fee that is non-refundable.
good luck
