In article . com, steve says...

But obviously things happen, though, and life doesn't go as planned,
and you may not have the skill/resources to care for your parents
properly, so nursing homes are the best option in some cases. But I
know a lot of people who think taking off from work is not even a
option they would consider, their life plan assumes nothing bad will
ever happen to them or their family.

Another argument against at-home care is, there are some medical
conditions that really do require a higher level of care than is
practical at home. For some actute illnesses, being in a nursing
home really is better because there are more highly trained
staff right there at hand at all times.
