One option is to explore facilities that provide long-term care for older adults. Many elderly parents may be able to receive the necessary help they need if you investigate assisted living, nursing homes, or memory care facilities in your area. If desired, you can also research advance planning documents such as Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy which would empower you to make medical decisions on their behalf should the need arise while they are still able to provide their consent. Finally, it might be beneficial to discuss what your plans are with an elder law attorney so he/she can inform you of any legal requirements and provide guidance related to the safest course of action for both you and your parents.

To legally abandon your elderly parents, you need to find an adult child or sibling willing to take on the responsibility for providing care, either through kinship guardianship or a formalized adoption. The courts must decide that the guardian or adoptive parent is in the best interests of the relative and will provide suitable care for them. In most cases, if relatives are unable to take on this responsibility then a qualified care facility may be utilized.
