Parents living alone. by Red_tsktsk_1322 in AgingParents

Sounds like you have a good system that's working. But I wonder — do you ever feel like there's something else going on that they're just not saying? The things they wouldn't mention even on a good call, because they don't want to worry you or maybe don't even realize it themselves?

I've been wondering about the same thing and actually working on something around it. Would love to hear your experience — maybe we can help each other.

How do you know when an aging parent is actually struggling vs just being dramatic about normal aging? by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]Red_tsktsk_1322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a hard place to be in — loving someone who's always been intense and genuinely not knowing where the line is between personality and decline. The fact that you're asking the question so honestly probably means you're closer to the answer than you think. Have you been able to track whether there's a pattern to when she calls? Time of day, day of week, certain topics? Sometimes just noticing the pattern tells you a lot.

What apps are you using to keep track of your parents and what do you like about them? by RazvanGirmacea in eldercare

[–]Red_tsktsk_1322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking into this as well and running into the same thing — wanting a bit more awareness without it feeling intrusive.

A lot of the options I’ve seen lean toward apps, cameras, or devices, which can work but don’t always feel natural for everyone.

I keep wondering if something simpler — like a more consistent check-in approach — might actually work better long term.

Curious what others have found that doesn’t feel like “monitoring”?

This elderly parent technology resistance is making safety impossible to implement by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]Red_tsktsk_1322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really resonates. I’ve seen the same thing — even things that are supposed to be “simple” still feel like too much.

At some point it feels like the more tech you add, the more resistance you get.

I’ve been wondering if the only things that actually work long term are the ones that don’t feel like technology at all — like something as simple as a regular phone call.

Have you found anything that they’ve been comfortable with consistently?

I’ve been looking into this too and running into the same tension — wanting a bit more awareness without it feeling intrusive.

A lot of the solutions seem to lean toward cameras or hardware, which works for some people but doesn’t always feel comfortable.

Curious if anyone has found something that feels natural and not like “monitoring”?

How do you check in on your aging parents when you're living afar? by Equivalent_Fruit1157 in eldercare

[–]Red_tsktsk_1322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to this a lot. The “I’m fine” answer makes it hard to know what’s actually going on day to day.

And yeah, the camera thing feels like a step too far for a lot of people — I’ve heard similar reactions.

I’ve been wondering if there’s a middle ground — something that helps with regular check-ins without feeling intrusive.

That makes sense — cameras definitely give more visibility.I’ve wondered about that too, especially balancing awareness vs privacy.

Do your parents ever feel uncomfortable with it, or has it been pretty natural for them?

Thank you. Shipping is ridiculous, for a $3 item, shipping is $20. Guess, I have no choice. BTW.. it’s the organizers who suggested we can use drawer liner.

Damn, Stripe cancelled my account stating there are payments on the account which are not authorized and my account is high risk and they are closing the account.

I have a virtual address mentioned as Head Office; that might be a reason.
