obvious promotion to your services aside...i think you have a point.
sending them to old folks home might be easy, but it also creates stress in the parents. they will feel abandoned, loss of hope, and just stay idle waiting for death. yes of course the children will come by but inbetween that visits he/she will feel lonely. better just have hired helper/nurse in house. even if you're busy working at least you know she's near.

This is what I was brought up with. My parents got maid to look after grandparents. Luckly, my parents were doctors so no need nurse rclxms.gif

but when its our turn non of my brother/sister are doctors, including me hmm.gif Now my parents still able to live without help but later in 20 years maybe cannot walk like my grandfather then how hmm.gif The reason is because my parents seem to shun the idea of going to nurisng home which is why my grandparens stayed with my parents.

I have seen one of the rumah orang tua, the place looks very depressing. Old, looks like a dorm/prison for old people. Stay at children's house atleast can get to see grandchildren
