That depends on how you want to do things - or do your parents have a written/verbal request of their own had this had happened?
There are a variety of options - if you want them to be able to stay at home as llong as they can they can have home healthcare workers come in and take care of them & there home there are many community care companies out there such as Home Instead Senior Care, Comcare, etc.
Or there is always the option of a retirement/nursing home.
However, think of things in a way such as how would you want to be treated and what would you want people to do with you at that time in your life. They can live at home with homecare then the idea of a nursing home after that. But always remember there is family as well that can take turns helping because you have to remember as well how did you get here and where you are in your life - just because your an adult now maybe they need you as you needed them.
