Not sure if you want advice or if this will help, but here it is: Talk to your parents about it. It's morbid as fuck, but these sorts of conversations are *extremely* important. I've known since I was 13 or so that Mom wants us to put her in a senior home, not to take care of her ourselves. Dad agrees. There are some senior residences that go right from fully independent to fully dependent. Perhaps that would be an option?

Siblings don't always make it easier. My Mom's brother was the favourite, but he lived nine hours away. Mom took care of her mother, putting aside all of her life goals in the meantime, for twenty years. She doesn't regret doing it, but she never wants to put that burden on us. If it's bothering you, ask.

If money is an issue, perhaps there is time to get a financial planner in on it? Most nursing homes and senior residences have a waiting list, so it's important to have something ready before it's needed.

It is hard not to have someone to lean on, but possibly you have friends that are going through the same thing? Family doesn't always mean blood, and perhaps you have more help than you think you do.

Best of luck with this! Declining health is the curse of living long enough to see it, and I can't make it easier for you, but hopefully at least some of this is useful.
