If my parents get to the point where they can't take care of themselves (hopefully not for a while yet!) then I would look into assisted-living facilities or in-home health care. It seems more dignified to me... you have your privacy, you have as much autonomy as you can handle, and there is medical staff on site if you do have a problem. Nursing homes seem so sterile and hospital-like, like that's where you go to die. And I couldn't take the time to care for an ailing parent full-time. But I would make sure to visit them regularly wherever they are, and see to it that they are well cared for.
