This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jen Eaves, Digital Caregiving & Elder Fraud Advocate at Aura. It has been edited for length and clarity.
It's an odd shift in dynamic when you start caring for the people who always cared for you. My mother is 79, and lives with my brother, who handles most of her day-to-day physical care. I'm the one who handles the administrative side of care, like scheduling doctor appointments and keeping her safe online.
About six years ago, my mom had a stroke, and while she recovered fairly well, she wasn't the same cognitively as she had been before. Around that time, I began noticing her falling for scams online.
Once, she ordered a cure for diabetes, which she has. The product was supposedly being sold by a famous TV doctor. When she showed me the video ad, I could see it was badly done AI, with the supposed doctor's lips not matching his words.
There have been other scams and pitfalls, too: online orders that never arrive, or even a legitimate credit card that my mom opened without realizing what she was doing. All in all, she's lost about $3,000 to scams, though I've been able to recover most of it through her bank.
I've realized that I need to take a more proactive approach to digital caregiving to protect my mom's finances. Here's what I'm doing.
After my brother and I had taken my mom's keys away, her phone became her connection to the world. I wanted to respect that. While some people have to restrict their older parents' access to phones, that didn't feel right in my case.
It was critical to me that my mom kept her dignity and as much independence as possible. At the same time, I saw there was an emotional side to falling for a scam: she would feel frustrated and confused when it happened, and I wanted to spare her those negative emotions.
I never want my mom to feel like I'm parenting her. Instead, I pointed out the patterns I was seeing and emphasized I'm here to help if she's willing to let me be involved. The choice, ultimately, is hers. This would be a lot harder if she wasn't willing.
My mom wasn't particularly tech savvy, even before her stroke. I've had to educate her about what scams look like. When she shared the famous doctor video, I pointed out the aspects that seemed AI-generated to me. I remind her that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I emphasize that urgency is a big sign of a scam. The bank, I tell her, is never going to call you.
Once, she had a scam caller claiming to be Apple support. They asked for her Apple ID and password, which would have given them access to pretty much everything she has online.
Because of our conversations, my mom hesitated. She patched me into the call and asked the scammer to explain the situation to me. I was very proud that she recognized the scam and knew to ask me for help.
I worked in cybersecurity at Aura, which offers a lot of great products for keeping kids safe online. But my experience with my mom made me realize we were missing a whole vulnerable population: older adults.
I helped develop Trusted Family Access, which allows family members like me to see alerts from their loved ones' accounts, with permission. This gives me peace of mind that I can catch any issues quickly. It's also made other aspects of caregiving easier, like handling medical appointments, because I have access to all my mom's information in one place.
When my mom was scammed, it felt like I was a victim too. I spent hours calling her bank and credit cards to get her money back. If she were to lose her savings, it would impact the whole family. I'm grateful we've found a solution that empowers both of us to keep her finances safe.
The structure gave way on Friday, October 23, near Yusuf Haji Avenue, inside the busy Eastleigh commercial district on the eastern side of the Kenyan capital. Security forces and the Kenya Red Cross deployed rescue brigades to the scene immediately.

Two people were pulled from the wreckage and rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital for specialized care, according to the latest report from relief agencies. The Kenya Red Cross confirmed that search and rescue operations continued without interruption at the collapse site.
The humanitarian organization located 26 people who had initially been reported missing. Tracking teams deployed across the sector found them safe and sound.
Given the heavy foot traffic in the commercial area, county security forces used tear gas to disperse crowds. The measure sought to protect nearby businesses from looting and to clear access routes for emergency vehicles.
🇰🇪 An 18-storey building under construction collapsed in Nairobi, Kenya

Authorities asked residents to keep the perimeter clear so Red Cross teams and partner agencies could work safely. “Kenya Red Cross teams are working with partners from various agencies to support search and rescue operations,” the organization said in a statement.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja said relief agencies kept heavy machinery and specialized personnel on Yusuf Haji Avenue to remove debris and investigate possible failures in the construction project.
Sakaja also announced the installation of a guidance and information center at the site of the disaster. The facility aims to serve the families of workers and area residents directly, providing updated reports on the removal of materials and the status of the investigation into the responsible construction company.
The governor’s office described the operation as ongoing, with no timetable for when the rubble would be fully cleared or the cause determined.
The collapse added to concerns about construction safety standards in Nairobi, where rapid urban growth has pushed a wave of high-rise building across the city. The structure was still under construction when it fell, leaving questions about the materials, the design and the permits behind the project.
Rescue crews continued combing through the debris for any remaining victims. The Red Cross reiterated its call for the public to stay away from the area. “Clear the area to allow rescuers to work safely,” the organization urged.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether anyone remains unaccounted for. The two injured patients were receiving treatment while investigators began examining the site for signs of structural failure.
The Eastleigh neighborhood, known for its dense commercial activity and large Somali community, sits in the eastern part of Nairobi. The collapse disrupted business operations across the district as authorities cordoned off streets around the disaster zone.
The investigation will look at the construction firm’s permits, the quality of materials used and whether the building met the standards required for an 18-story structure. Governor Sakaja said those findings would be shared with the families awaiting answers.
