What is long distance caregiving?

See below: Loved one prefers to stay on current location instead of moving to another location because of fear of losing independence while the primary caregiver live in a long distance that is unable to provide for loved one due to career, health issues or spending more time with families. Geriatric case manager or family counselor is the one to coordinate care for both loved one and primary caregiver.

Care giving: A long-distance caregiver helps from afar. They may help with finances, paying bills, getting emergency plans & documents in order, making arrangements for in-home care providers or obtain info about assisted living facilities, act as a conduit to pass info to others, etc. REF: https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/getting-started-long-distance-caregiving
