Traditional Chinese families felt that moving seniors in the family into institutional care is unfilial. Adult children should keep elderly and frail elderly parents at home as far as possible. With improved health care, frail older adults may have to endure prolonged period of high dependency before death. This symposium involves discussion among professionals and family caregivers on the new thoughts on filial piety in the modern world.
