I'm not entirely sure your plan will work quite as you intend. Assuming there are no technical glitches (I'm not saying there will be, I'm just not clear as to the potential difficulties of moving equipment and connections cross-Atlantic etc), the convenience to your parents will not be increased, whereas you will only be able to make outgoing calls from the US.
Both vonage.com and vonage.co.uk offer similar packages. You can choose any number (in your own country) as your home phone. You can then add one or more virtual numbers, either at home and/or abroad. Anyone calling these numbers pays the same rate to reach them as they would if they were regular phones.
So at least on the face of it, unless you have some other intent, it would be simpler to get set up in the UK and add a virtual number close to where your parents live in the US.
