I am a single child and so is my bf, we are really worried how will we take care of our aging parents down the line, of 10 or so years. Sending parents to a old-age home is really frowned upon in my culture. So if anyone has any ideas please suggest.

So they are still in good spirits and all? Maybe sit down with them and ask them what’s their preferred way to spend their twilight years?
Are you doing some type of research asking the same question in all the Asian-related subs?
The important question is where are all of you (or will you be) and the same for parents. If everyone is in Japan, multi-generational homes are not uncommon. For example, my aunt-in-law basically became a full-time live-in carer with her husband working and pensions from the carees paying for things
It’s not unusual for elderly people to go to nursing homes these days when they can’t live on their own. If your parents are Japanese they should have nursing home insurance.
Why would you think something that affects Indians would have the same problem with Japanese families?
