I wouldn't expect a family member to take care of me. People do have their
own lives. I saw how well that worked with my MIL. It didn't! That kind
of care nearly killed her. Of course each case is different. But much of
the time it comes down to a person needing a level of care that the ordinary
person can not provide.
