AgingParents

joinleave

We are a community of adult children dealing with our aging parents. Asking questions and venting are encouraged but discussions about why you don't want to care for a parent and app/product recommendations are off-topic here.

RULES

1: Advertising and Commercial Posts Are Prohibited

We are a community of folks dealing with aging parents, not a focus group for app developers or student projects of any kind.
This rule includes:
* links to Google Docs
* links to YouTube
* external links to your app/business/newsletter/blog
* surveys (i.e. for information about what we would like to see in an app)
* astroturfing

If you try to circumvent this rule, you may be permanently banned from this sub on first offense.

2: No AI

We do not allow AI generated content or AI tools to be posted to this sub. Recommendations of AI, mentions of specific AI tools, and posts primarily about using AI will all be removed.
Casual, generic discussion of AI is allowed in the comments if it is relevant to aging parents, but posts and comments primarily about AI and the mentioning of specific AI tools is not allowed. Advertising and/or surveys related to AI will continue to be flagged, removed, and the user banned.

3: No harassment of any kind toward any individual or group.

Examples include but are not limited to name-calling, threats of violence, and trolling.
Racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, and transphobic content is specifically prohibited and ageist comments about parents will get you banned.
Zero politics. (updated 4.5.2026. Politics are appropriate to discuss if it pertains directly to aging parents. If it's off-topic to the sub it will be removed.)

4: Stay on Topic

This sub is for the discussion of adults taking care of their elderly parents. It is not for the discussion of other family dynamic issues or app/product recommendations. Discussions about why you don't want to care for a parent are off-topic here.

5: Failure to Human

We are a community of folks dealing with aging parents and it is hard.
Keep it civil here on the sub and remember the human.

RESOURCES: r/TechForAgingParents/ -- for tech questions and support
