In a famine, a family was suffering. To lessen the burden the old grandpa asked his son to take him to the cliff and lower him down so he can lessen pressure.
Together he and his son and young grandkids went to the cliff and lowered the old man. The old man bid farwell and untie the rope. The son was about to throw the rope away when his son said "papa, don't throw away, next time we can use".
from Hokkien proverb:
Chau sou lui an kong.
Chau sou lui an peh.

Alternative view........i take a leaf from buddhist......
It is a rite of passage for middle age folks to handle the dead of dying parents. The entired ideas focus should be how to help caretaker to adjust and move into the Third Age or the Golden Age in a dignify and englightening way.
Alot of this talk is about our perception of what is right. But in order for Filiat Piety to take place there are condition that needs to take place. If condition are not there....forcing folks together can be a break for family bond and couples may ends up have to go married counselling or divorce.
To create expectation is bound to disrupted family bond if expectation are not met.
So this is another social engineering program pushing an agenda of healthcare burden on old age.

If taken to task, it's no longer filial piety.
