How old are they? I found with my parents that as they got older they became increasing incapable of using modern computerised technology. The older the tech the easier it was for them to remember how to use it. My mum can still set the time on a clock radio, and use a sewing machine, but can't remember the difference between Mail and Messages on her phone, or how to do online banking. Last in first out i guess.

So my advice: old tech. Pen and paper where possible. They will forget how to use their phone and computer, so get them a landline phone and a paper phonebook as backup.

They are just in their early 60s, and are currently using email, messages, and use the internet to browse facebook, online shopping, etc.

I think the advice on old tech is right and that's their tendency already (all of their passwords currently are in a notebook next to their computer). I'm hoping we can set up some systems as caretakers that will let them personally put down whatever new tech isn't directly helpful/necessary.

They're still fairly independent though and so I think it'll be a gradual reduction. And in the meantime I'm looking at ways to help remotely (setting up shared passwords, bill auto-pay, remote login for their macbook if they need my assistance remotely).
