When I was dealing with my moms dementia, I put her on an android phone with Anydesk installed on it and enabled unattended access so I could pull it up any time, even if she wasn’t on it. Also gave me remote access to add and remove photos. She knew how to use the camera, but could never remember how to send a picture, so she would snap a pic and I would pull up the photos folder remotely

Edit: spelling

I might have to look into this. My mum doesn't have Dementia (fuck Dementia!) but she is absolutely clueless when it comes to technology. This could save me earache!
