Ajay, an Indian American engineer (name changed for privacy), has called the United States home for over 35 years. His 90-year-old mother, however, lives alone in Mumbai, cared for by a full-time nurse and domestic staff. In the past, she would visit and stay with him, but as she grew older and her health became more fragile, she chose to remain in India full-time. This choice, while practical for her comfort and continuity of care, has brought its own set of challenges for Ajay. Like many others in the diaspora, he now finds himself deeply involved in coordinating his elderly parents’ healthcare and daily needs from afar—a responsibility that brings emotional, logistical, and financial challenges.
