The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

1. Option 1

   Stay in the hometown and keep remote treatment

   Preserves the caregiving relationship but bears the constraints on emergency movement.

2. Option 2

   Gains on-site access but requires housing costs and rebuilding relationships.

3. Option 3

   Live in both places by treatment period

   Can move as circumstances change but the burden of moving and gaps in records arise.
