For those of you who have senior parents (70yrs+) and need to provide some support for them, what do you do? What are the options even? If you wanted to bring them to Taiwan, I assume it has to do with visa type, etc. ? The only visa I have seen that has any provisions for this is the Gold Card. Ho…

Or send her on a boat to xiamen every three months Sounds kinda fun

My grandma doesn’t like the US all that much either. She basically lives in a majority Korean part of town. If she had the money she would probably live in Korea on her own. But my family gives her money and a apartment so she stays near them. She hates American food lol.

[image] bojack: Does she watch tv? There is an app on AppleTV called KORTV looks like it has access to tons of Korean tv channels. Thanks for the tip. I’ll see if she know it or I can maybe help her set it up. She does watch a lot of TV, Korean dramas. She just doesn’t speak much English, sh…

Irrelevant but I’m born and raised an American, my mother is Taiwanese and I really hope I’m able to go back a lot more in the near future to take care of my grandparents. Kind of like the reverse of your situation OP heh

I was thinking about that for milliseconds to take my parents here with me but looks like they do prefer the old place near the beach with fresh air and simple food. They are in 80’s + 1 PWD elder brother (with no other special caretaker) they take care themselves so what I do is sending them month…
