But what about the crises that are nearly inevitable with aging parents? It just might be that your aging parent’s thinking is impaired in the midst of an accident or health emergency. If your aging parent falls, for example, and gets knocked out, the person who discovers this will call 911. If it is a sophisticated device with a gyroscope in it that will sense a fall, the emergency service will call your aging parent when that alarm goes off. Every adult child with an aging parent one needs to consider how things would go in an emergency if your loved one is unable to call you.
