Both my wife and I "did our duty" and took care of our parents in their final years--a lot of work and constant emotional stress. We've said to ourselves that we'd never want --or expect--our children to care for us that way. So our answer to the question you posed is NEVER. There are plenty of options for care, even fully assisted living, here in TV. When "our time" comes, that's what we're planning on.
