It’s interesting how none of us are willing to put our parents into care but we are willing to go there ourselves.

Why is that?

Someone also mentioned that they would be okay with living in a nursing home themselves but would not want to have his wife there if he should pass away first. Why is that?

Most of us are self reliant and have enough self respect to never be a burden on the next generation. My grandmother would not come and live with us because it was hurtful to lose her independence. Most older people I know would never move countries or live with their families for the same reason.
