Another Disney movie, this one stars a young Ron Howard. The Tanner family moves from Pittsburgh to Wyoming where they now own a ranch that’s not in great condition. They also learn that their water source travels through the land of a cruel neighboring rancher, who announces there are no laws in his territory, which starts a series of problems for the family who simply want to live in peace. 
 
Your parents need support when you’re not available. If you need a break or have other responsibilities, make sure you have other caregivers lined up to ensure they don’t have to struggle with daily tasks like meals, personal care, or housekeeping. 
 
Caregivers are also helpful when it comes to companionship. If your parents don’t often get out of the home or cannot leave without help, caregivers can help them with ambulation, transportation, and shopping.
