OP -  It might serve you both, if DH went out alone to spend some time with his folks, but gave them a heads up that he was coming to go over a few important things with them.  Perhaps you could do some research on CCRCs in Tucson ahead of time with prices that DH might at least take them out to lunch in Tucson and then at least drive them by or if open to looking at them show them one or two.  There are  four aspects to their future care planning:

1- What do they see happening when FIL can’t drive and where do they want to be as more Care is needed?

2- What can they afford from LTC insurance, selfFunded or current income?

3- What could DH do to help them in direct care, any idea of moving them closer in a facility or your home And/or afford to pay for in services?

You and DH need to discuss #3 and be on the same page AND you need to clearly state whether how much you could take on?  Do this hard discussion before a time bomb goes off as at least you will know the outlines of the crisis coming in either their unrealistic ideas of aging, expectations of your family involvement and/or having funds to deal with a crisis ir not.
