Voluntary enrollment in nursing/assisted living facilities is far more accepted (for good reason) than voluntarily turning your children over to foster or other care arrangements. In that regard, I’d say that elder care is more voluntary than childcare.

That really depends on the particular assisted living facilities, and the state of your particular parents, and in support of the suggestion that a company offer "taking care of someone" time universally rather than just to those with kids, I'd prefer not to have a corporate officer determining at what exact level of deterioration my taking care of an elderly parent becomes involuntary.
