You can't completely figure it out ahead of time. Some people are healthy until the end and others need help with daily chores. My dad lived in his own home until the end. He went to bed one night and didn't wake up again. My mom is still living in her own home. We hope that IF she gets to a point where she needs help that one of us siblings will be able to meet her needs, but if not, we'll deal with it then. In general providing the LEAST level of care that is essential is best in my opinion. That is, the more involved in their own care and in life that a senior can be, the better.

Well, First..... discuss it with them. Find out what they want. That is always a good place to start.

Depends. If they're healthy, let them do what they like. Or ask them what they want to do, i.e, what they want to eat, to watch (film, tv), to read, where to go, simply make them happy, feel that they're loved by their closest ones. DON'T show any sadness - or your pity upon them.
My mother died in her sleep, peacefully, gracefully, at 93 yrs old. The only thing we regret was not to let her do what she liked most in her life, gardening! Because we worried too much for her!
If they have illness, let the doctor takes care or send him/her to hospital. It's not our call to judge whether they're can stand longer or not.

Do the same thing you'd want done with you when you become their age.
