Expats and Caring at a Distance

Many people with ageing or frail relatives need to manage caring at a distance, sometimes from another country. When you live far away, supporting elderly parents is often a worry and a challenge.

TimeFinders is experienced in supporting expats living abroad and families living at a distance from their parents. Many people have very pressurized lives, combining responsibilities for children with their career or business. caring for elderly parentsIt is not always easy to drop everything immediately and come rushing back to look after an elderly relative or ensure that their care and welfare needs are being properly met, particularly when this can involve many journeys back and forth to get everything arranged. When a crisis hits or when planned changes are being made, there are seemingly endless practical arrangements to see to. Identifying care needs and finding the right care, liaising with hospitals and social services, organizing a move into a Care Home, finding the right financial and legal advice, supervising tradespeople to undertake repairs and renovations – the list goes on.

Our Oversight Service provides practical and emotional support to expats and families caring at a distance for elderly family. However, we know that a crisis in the life of your relative may require important decisions with long-term consequences to be made in a hurry and under pressure. Being prepared can ensure that these decisions are the right ones, and having robust Contingency Planning in place can save a great deal of anxiety and distress.

A TimeFinders Contingency Plan will ensure that:-

  • You and your relative have agreed a clear plan of action for what to do should they have an emergency or become frail and in need of additional support
  • You have put in place a support network for your relative here in the UK
  • You have created your own support networks to enable you to travel back quickly in an emergency
  • All the information you need to make decisions and take action at a distance is easily and readily available

TimeFinders will help you to have those difficult conversations together with your parents and enable you to put in place the comprehensive and detailed Contingency Planning your family needs.
