you should consider home care for an elderly parent when you and they decide that they can no longer cope on their own. If you think your parent is struggling to take care of them selves you should sit and discuss the matter with them and see how they feel about it as well.
There are many options to consider, when you realize your elderly parent is no longer able to live alone. What you choose depends on your particular situation and what problems your elderly parent is experiencing. Minor problems with chores can be solved by an in-home caregiver being paid to come by for an hour or so a day. Minor mobility issues can be solved by renovating your parents house to make it more accessible. If you are worried about a fall, a medical alert system can be installed in the home to make sure help is contacted if there's an emergency. If things have progressed beyond these options, perhaps you do want to think about home care. The right thing to do is to have a talk with your parent, and discuss your concerns and listen to theirs. This will be the best way to decide whether or not you think your parent can be left alone any longer.

Who makes legal decisions when putting a parent in a nursing home the granddaughter or children of grandparent?
It is generally the adult children of the elderly person that tries to get their parent into a nursing home if the elderly person is no longer competent to look after themselves, but in many States and in Canada this has to be doctor approved for the security of that elderly parent because some elderly parents are quite capable of living with their grown children or even on their own. However, either in a Will or if the elderly person is lucid (thinking very clearly) they can name anyone to become Power of Attorney to care for them if they do not trust their adult children's decisions.
