APA style does require the Oxford comma, though they call it Serial. It was drilled into me at Parochial school as was crossing my sevens and I cannot imagine abandoning either. I applaud your correct, if archaic, use if anxious!
As for aging parents, the range of choices is still rather more limited than it should be but like so much else it is dramatically easier if you have some money to toss at the problem. I'm lucky to have siblings, particularly since we are more or less in agreement. To the degree possible start talking to your parents now about their plans, and yours.
