Robbins, president of San Francisco-based Ultimate Moves and co-author of Moving Mom & Dad, shares insights gleaned from over three thousand successful elder relocations. "No two are the same" offers Robbins, "but there are several constants that all will confront. First and foremost is whether or not the parent is willing to relocate."
In addition to this pivotal issue, Robbins details several others that will affect the decision. They range from whether parents should remain local or make a cross country move to live with children, to types of housing to dispensation of heirlooms. She also counsels that factors including a parent's safety in their current homes, the state of their health and needed support systems must be carefully considered.

Her first-hand knowledge of issues related to diverse types of moves can provide readers the jump start they need."
