My 78 year old mother was just diagnosed with Parkinson's and I'm wondering what to expect. She lives alone in a small East Texas town about 200 miles away from me. She has some family and friends nearby but I expect eventually she'll need more close support than they can provide.

I'm 10 years away from retirement so I can't very well move to her in the next 10 years and I'm wondering how soon I need to plan for getting her to me and what to expect when she gets here.

She still gets around OK but I'm trying to get a feel for how quickly that might change.
