There was a lady earlier today looking to retire and move to Florida and qas querying the Insurance Premiums she had been quoted, $800 pm, so multiply that by 2 and then 12, you say they have  their own resources, pensions and savings, are they ready to pay that?

 

Immigrating when old is only for the very poor or very wealthy.

Weren’t the deductibles around $7000 too?

 

edit: yup- she says

”The prices start at around $850 a month plus deductibles of between $6500 -$7500  I am 67. Also the premiums continue to rise with age. “

 Many people don't even ask their parents what they really want.  My mother ,  a natural born USC never wanted to move from her friends.  She was more than happy visiting when she wished and returning to the village she had spent her life in.  You are expecting your parents to leave their life long friends and the place they know just to keep you company and provide cheap baby sitting

I have not researched medical costs. We are generally a very healthy family, grandparents and great grandparents have lived close to 100 years old without needing any serious medical attention. So I am hoping it won't be the case but you never know. How does it work with the social security though? Are they entitled to social security as permanent residents? Or if they gain citizenship after 5 years?

You need to do some serious research into medical cost.  Your parents might be healthy but that doesn't mean they wont have medical expenses.  They are going to age and along with that comes issues that require care.  It might not seem obvious right now, but their lifestyle will be different and things that may not have affected their health in Romania could be a factor here.   Good health doesn't mean you won't have medical expenses.   All it takes is a slip and fall, a car accident or a serious case of influenza and you will rack up a large medical bill. Healthcare in Romania has improved a lot in the last 10 years and it costs nothing compared to what you will pay here.
