What do you think your family should do with you when you get too old to take care of yourself? What would you like done? Is there a right/wrong decision? Is it burdening your children if you expect them to take care of you or is that just part of being family? What are your expectations?

I'm curious what the younger generation thinks. My grandmother was deathly afraid of being put in a "home" as she called it - likely because of her view of what they were like when she was young. She would have preferred family take care of her. Whereas at the time my mother and I were like "hell yeah, put us in assisted living facility." Neither of us would want to live with our kids. Personally, I would rather a stranger help me shower and wipe myself than my children. Of course, we imagined a nice one but those are incredibly expensive! I have no clue what finances will be like when I get to that age. I'm not sure how I'd feel about being in a budget or state-funded assisted living facility.
