Ritalin and a good parent sitter. :o)
Keep in touch with them by phone, email, or visitations. Have them over from time to time. Be active with them. Make sure they stay social and active. Sad to say but statistics show that those who retire and do absolutely nothing are 90% more likely to die within 10 years than those who stay active or remain working at least part time.

Keep track of their medical appointments...go along if possible. I call my mom just to chat, so she doesn't feel like she's interrupting something. Make sure she's taking her medications, share juicy gossip with her, go to lunch, really LISTEN when she talks about her day, ask her advice (even though I don't usually follow it!) In general, let her know that she is still needed and a big part of my life, my children's and my grandchildren's lives. My mom is 79 years old and still going strong...gutsy ol' broad!

Good people provide them with shelter, food, clothing but most importantly LOVE.
same as they did for them when you were incapable of taking care of themselves.
