Chinese societies like most others are experiencing social change that impacts on models of care for older parents. There is tension between social change and traditional values of filial piety. The eldest son and his wife are expected to care for aged parents but that can be a challenge in modern industrial societies. This paper reports on research undertaken in Taiwan to explore changing values for aged care. It aimed to investigate how the roles and responsibilities of adult children of nursing home residents are changing. It involved aged care facility residents, their families and professional carers.
