You would think that this is the plight of the only child, but not necessarily. I have two older siblings, significantly older actually, who have completely washed their hands of any issues regarding our aging parents. I am left to deal with it. My mother is very emotionally reliant on me and panics if she thinks I'm not available.
I've already told her that if she needs me, I will come home for a period of time and help her out. My brother and sister just pretend nothing is happening and I can't talk to them about it either.
So I would not necessarily consider this an only child issue, it really comes down to personalities.
