If it were solely up to me, I would have already.
I've had strong feelings my whole adult life about taking care of my parents until the end of their lives as long as I have the ability to do it, and very thankfully I do.  Believe it or not, my husband and I discussed this over 20 years ago before we got married and we've always been on the same page about taking care of our parents if needed until death.  I (and my husband) have an extraordinary amount of patience with the sick and the elderly, I've been humbly able to help care for my parents during their worst times, and I would be grateful to keep them safe and happy in our home in their final years.  However, if mom & dad would rather move to their local nursing home and be closer to the majority of the family, and not have to endure moving 1000 miles to live with us where they know only a handful of people, I do not fault them for that and will respect their wishes.
