I've personally cared for my father and MIL remotely, and each time, it brought me immense satisfaction knowing I provided them with the best love and care possible. Through these experiences, I've gained valuable insights and lessons. I'm happy to share and discuss them on any virtual platform.

So true!! Have been through due to my father's accidental trauma case

It is certainly the world most critical problem as average age increased across the globe. The dimensions for elderly care have fast changed over a period of few decades but it has now taken the serious turn because of breaking family system and weakening of neighborhood social system. The trend of new generation spending time in finding their own place in the moving society and technology despite increased interactions has left the aging population out of these interactions. Emotional bonding have less value for new generation while older generation still finds meaning and value of close relationships. The increasing number of medical cases among elders have further increased need of personal care which require to be managed differently. Growing old age/elders home bring some relief but cannot fill the emotional void. The solution does not straight forward and require a framework of wholesome caring and bridging the gap between different generations. While US has a system of medical care and India has started commercial solution and costless community supported care homes. However, prevention of disabling medical conditions require a regime of awareness among all age groups. Media and Technology can bring relief.

Thanks for writing on this sensitive?topic.I have personally experienced?it when my mother was going through it. What I realized is that our parent's generation needs more of our time. They are fully conscious?of our hectic work schedules and start feeling more and more guilty of their dependent condition. My view is that the services part can be handled by professional service providers but every day either in person or remotely one should spend dedicated quality time (not just asking for their health condition?but rather make them talk on their life experiences on various topics). Like that Mastercard ad, "There are some things money can't buy for everything else there's Mastercard"?I have observed that this just simple talking works wonderfully for their emotional wellbeing which in turn helps them for fighting against ailments. Any person getting the feeling that he is relevant in the system is most satisfying.
