How to begin taking care of an elderly relative?

Caring for the Elderly
Jille K asked:


My husband and I are just starting to map out a plan for caring for his elderly uncle. He wants to stay in his home, has no other relatives but lives an hour a way. His memory is failing and his friends are becoming concerned. However, he is adamant that he is still able to take care of himself and remain in his home. Any tips on where to begin would be helpful.
