I think conversations need to be had within families long before it comes to the age where parents need caring for. Obviously if you want to keep your parents at home, something has to give, either financially or time wise.
Of course it should happen. In a lot of cases it doesn't.
I've had this discussion with DP and you will never in a million years guess what he said.
"My sister will do the care if mum needs it"
Honestly I was gobsmacked. It never actually occurred to him that she might not want to, she might be busy , she might want to stay at work all the things that woman night want to do, but he's already decided for her.
The arrogance.
