I can't quite tell if you are being satirical, but some folks wouldn't be okay with having their parents live in Ecuador and never seeing them.

But okay with them in Utah or some other state far away? You can just got to Columbia once a year as you fly once a year to Utah. Plus the whether is better.

I didn't see any mention in the article of putting family in far-away states. My family (who'd moved south of Boston) put my great-grandmother in a home in Connecticut, near where she had lived.

Is it common practice to do this?
