[quote=Anonymous]Imo, it depends on how traditional the family is. The traditional model is to have the husband's parents live with the family, and they age in place until the parents have to go to a nursing home/hospice. Typically, the parents will pay a good chunk of the down payment. I have three sets of cousins that are in that arrangement, and I have not seen resentment from the wives. They expected it. They treat it like something taken for granted. I'm not saying it's easy, but I have not seen resentment. YMMV. Otherwise, the parents age in place until they can't anymore. I have some aunts/uncles like this as well. Assisted living is generally skipped because of language and cultural barriers. Expensive. Hard to make friends. Meh about the activities. Don't know the songs. Don't like the food. More Americanized parents will more willingly accept independent living/assisted living facilities. YMMV.[/quote]
