I'm surprised you have memories going back to birth. Most of us can't remember events earlier than about 2 or 3 years old.
Or am I being overly literal? |

google "aging forums" or "caregiver forums" or "elder care forum"

You should instead be a good friend to them and if the subject of their own place comes up, ask if you can help in any way. Are you geographically distant?
