The way of life in USA is very different than in INdia for the new immigrant. It is difficult to adjust to the change for the elderly. If the finances permit the senior citizens would be happier in India. If the reason to move to USA is financial or family then there has to be lot of sacrifice from the seniors.

If you know the condition in USA, and still need to relocate, you must find ways to entertain yourself. It would be better if you can drive, or live in a metro area as public transportation is limited. In USA 10-15 mile of commute to work or even shopping is not uncommon. The isolation except on the weekend for seniors must be expected. Fortunately with internet and cable TV you can bring any part of the world to your house.

The children should be more than happy to put up with the parents, if not for love at least for the free babysitting. It is almost impossible to find FREE Indian nanny in most part of USA.
