Abstract

Reports findings from exploratory interviews with migrants involved in caregiving for elderly parents who have remained "back home." Findings indicate that such distant carers make an important contribution to the caring process through letters, phone calls, and caregiving visits. Caregiving may involve an ongoing dialogue with the home country; remigration may be considered. (Author/MKA)
