Five Steps to Plan for Digital Assets, such as Online Passwords
|
Q. My father, Daniel, is a techie and an environmentalist. In other words, any type of banking, including bill payments, he does online (no paper statements for him!) He also invests online and is an avid user of Facebook, where he records just about everything he and my mother, his children, and grandchildren do. According to dad, "(i)t never happened if I didn't put it on Facebook!" He also has many
automatic deliveries set up, everything from dog food to laundry detergent.
As dad is getting older, he has become more and more forgetful. His diagnosis is currently mild cognitive impairment, but it could very likely become dementia as it progresses. I keep telling my mom that if they don't plan for his digital assets, she will be broke and have a lifetime supply of dog food and laundry detergent delivered to her door. How do you suggest she get
started?
Critter Corner: How to Make a Smart Phone Easier to Read for a Senior

I recently bought my mother a smart phone for her birthday. I figured it would be a great way for her to communicate with the grandchildren, and to have in case of an emergency. There are also some great apps to challenge her brain, to track medication intake, and to keep better organized.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t use it. She has taken classes, and is somewhat technologically savvy. Yet, she complains that the text of the phone is too small for her to see, among other things. How can I help her make the phone more accessible, so she’ll hopefully start using it?
