You want to remotely manage care for your elderly parents living in India while you are in the UK. This is very doable, but it requires a mix of technology, local support, and planning. Here’s a structured approach:

1. 

Hire Reliable Local Help

• Professional Care Agencies: Look for agencies in their city that provide elderly care services (full-time caregivers, part-time nurses, or daily check-ins). Some examples: Portea, Care24, Homage, or local private nurses.
• Domestic Help with Elderly Experience: If your parents only need help with daily chores, cooking, and supervision, hiring a trusted domestic helper with references is important.
• Nursing or Health Services: If they have medical conditions, consider hiring a nurse or health assistant who can monitor vitals and administer medications.

Tip: Use services that allow verified reviews, contracts, and clear terms.

2. 

Set Up Remote Communication

• Video Calls: WhatsApp, Zoom, or Google Meet for daily/weekly check-ins.
• Emergency Contact Apps: Set up WhatsApp groups or apps like “Family Locator” to know their whereabouts.
• Smart Devices:
  
• Smart pill boxes (remind and alert you if medication is missed)
• Smart cameras in common areas for safety monitoring (discreetly)
• Smart speakers for reminders and communication
• 
  

3. 

Medical & Health Management

• Keep a digital record of all medications, doctor appointments, and health history (Google Drive or apps like MediBuddy).
• Schedule telemedicine consultations: Many Indian hospitals allow remote appointments and sending prescriptions.
• Have a local hospital or doctor on standby for emergencies.

4. 

Financial & Administrative Management

• Open a joint bank account or get internet banking access to pay bills and caregivers.
• Set up auto-payments for utilities and rent to avoid delays.
• Consider insurance coverage for health and emergencies.

5. 

Emergency Planning

• Have a clear emergency contact list: neighbors, friends, relatives, doctor, ambulance services.
• Define a care escalation plan: when to call the caregiver, doctor, or emergency services.
• Consider local power of attorney if you need to make urgent financial or medical decisions.

6. 

Regular Visits (When Possible)

Even if you’re in the UK, plan occasional visits to audit care, review arrangements, and maintain family connection.

7. 

Technology for Care Coordination

• Caregiving Apps: Portea, Care24, or family caregiving apps to track daily routines and health.
• Medication Reminders: Medisafe or similar apps.
• Monitoring Apps: Life360 for location tracking (if needed).

💡 Extra Tip: Build a “local backup support network” of neighbors, relatives, or friends, so your parents aren’t completely reliant on remote management in emergencies.
