I say do it for the right reasons. I got laid off from a really good job right about the same time my grandma had a stroke. They ended up putting her in a nursing home, which left my grandfather (a farmer who never cooked a meal in his life or did laundry) home alone. I moved in, since I wasn't working anyway, and took care of the basics. I did this for about 6 months. It wasn't all fun and games, and I did not get paid for it, but they were my grandparents and I loved them, so it was all worth it and of course the rest of the family truly appreciated it.
