Questions to Ask Aging Parents

If your parents are still healthy and active, use this checklist of questions to help you prepare for a time when they may depend on you more.

• Do you want to live in your house for as long as possible? Are there things we need to do to your house so it’s safe and comfortable for you as you age? Can we make some of those changes now?
• Are you willing to move into a smaller place that’s easier to manage, like a condo? When?
• Has either of you thought about whether you would want to stay in the house if you were alone?
