Swiss Daughter Sends 91-Year-Old Mom To Thailand For Elder Care

Elderly Woman with daughter

A recent article in the BBC news, Exporting Grandma to care homes abroad , describes how a middle aged daughter in Switzerland chose to send her 91 year old mother with dementia to a care home in Thailand, where quality care is much more affordable.   Her reasons included that her mother has dementia and doesn’t really know where she is and that she is happy and well taken care of there. Her mother became too difficult for the daughter to continue caring for her at home.  She can get a lot more care for the money in Thailand than she can in Switzerland.
