It can be a tough situation, with no really good solution for some people. My parents have a friend, a widow who lived alone near them in NY. As her health declined her daughter moved her up to New England near her home. But the woman doesn't know anyone there except her daughter, who is busy with her job and her own life. So she's very unhappy. But it would not have been practical for the daughter to move to NY, regardless of how she might feel about living there in the past.
One of my neighbors moved down to Mississippi last year. He did not want to go. But he had no family in this area. He's retired and still relatively young and in good shape. He'd had knee surgery and found it hard to get help from friends, not because they didn't want to help, just because it's hard to coordinate schedules sometimes. He realized that he'd be on his own if he had a more serious health problem. So he sold his townhouse and moved to the town in Mississippi where his sister and niece live. He told me that his sister had a bit of trouble adjusting when she first moved there to be close to her daughter, but was able to settle in and find friends and activities she liked in time. So he hoped he'd be able to do the same. But it was not easy for him to move. I hope he's doing well there.
