Senior citizen transitions

Senior transitions aren't much different for our parents than  they are far us. The difference is they may feel they don't have a choice.  Do they want to move into the nursing home or assisted living?  Do they want to move in with you? Do they want senior day care? As my parents and I age, I continue to try to remember to live by the golden rule and treat them in a way I'd like to be treated.
