    Id get them to gift their money to you and you and wife buy the house. As long as they live long enough, the deprivation of assets becomes harder to prove. Plus living with you may mean they do not need a care home.

    Someone else mentioned siblings but the OP didn't comment on this.  It has the potential to cause great conflict in a family if one child, in effect, gets the parents assets and brothers and sisters get nothing or relatively little in the short or long term. 
    The whole family needs to discuss this if there are several children involved.
