There are many variables to consider: your parents' visa status (B-2 visitor or IR-5 permanent resident), health insurance, the language barrier, and the risk of social isolation.

Medical care: enroll in Medicaid or private insurance. Build a network of Korean-speaking doctors.

Emotional support: connect with Korean senior communities (senior associations, churches, welfare centers).

An advisor can help you design both the practical procedures for both Korea and the U.S., and the emotional care support.
