An option for some is that the family can share responsibilities and look after parents for quite some time if health allows it at home as used to happen .......it certainly has its issues
Good post! Your the only one that has mentioned anything of the sort out of all these posts!
That is a good idea if everybody wants to help. My MIL lived with us for 3 years . My wife has 3 siblings . All we heard was whining and complaining about having to stay at our house for 24 hours one day a month so we could have a little break .
That's a case where fair and equal in a will aren't the same. If one child does all the long term care in home, it's reasonable that they be given a bigger share of the estate. This needs to be done arranged in advance of the parent losing their ability to make decisions though.
