Inheriting Elderly Tenants

Hey Everyone,  I find myself in a unique situation and am hoping there are a few of you out there with experience/advice for my situation.  I am pending on a duplex that already has existing tenants in the lower level, they have been there 3 years, always paid rent, and after meeting them really seemed to be nice people that enjoy living there.  Where my long term concern arises is they are all 3 older and have various health problems they deal with..... so riddle me this.  What happens if one of them passes away and the other 2 cannot afford the rent?  I can't imagine having to be the landlord that evicts a poor, senior citizen, in poor health....   In a perfect world, they all live happily ever after another 20 years but my concern is what if they don't.  Has anyone else been in this situation before and if so, how would/did you handle it?
