But I’m thinking that maybe there is a middle ground re: elders in need of assistance (between ‘in a facility’ and ‘100% hands on care by family.’). Perhaps just having a family member who can check in with aides, call regularly, etc.

Sure. But all too often it becomes a slippery slope, and the family member is expected to do more and more as the elders need more and more. Resentments can build up.
