Alas, the article is behind a pay wall.

I do think about these things constantly. I'm 72. My one son lives about 1500 miles from me. He's in the DC area, I'm in New Mexico. For several years now I've simply assumed that at some point I will relocate to be much nearer to him. Not that I would expect him to do hands on taking care of me down the road, but so, as I like to say, he'd be near enough to sign the DNR orders when needed.

The reality is, I like him a lot and would prefer to live much closer to him. But even if that happens, someone like a geriatric care manager would be wonderful to have as I age.
