This is bad form all around... like, yeah, be a parent and love your kids more than yourself.

Even if you are incapable of that, at least be smart enough to not be shitty to the people who will pick your nursing home.

If it happens, the following sentiment, a few decades down the road:

"Look at this shitty nursing home my daughter shipped me off to. AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR HER!"

And it could even be a good nursing home barely within the means of a son or daughter, suffering from some sort of Stockholm Syndrome sense of duty. The narcissistic, miserable, martyrdom complex is a goddamned guarantee.
