Many elderly Eastern European migrants - at least in Australia - refuse assistance programs like home help, where someone will come and clean their house, a nurse will help bathe them, etc. Instead they insist their own children do it.

(Could be the same with lots of other cultures but I can't speak to them)

To be fair, there are a lot of stories about hired elder help stealing stuff, beating the person up, or taking advantage of a mental decline to trick them into changing their will.
