I have not had to deal with this personally as both my parents are not in my life.

Unfortunately I deal with this quite often professionally. It is very difficult to even get the real location where they are at when they call, as a lot of times they regress to previous homes and places they live. They can forget both who and why they called, and sometimes they call about a problem they had yesterday or even years ago. I am still debating creating a class for other professionals how to handle calls from the very young and the elderly folks since they are often very similar in how you manage those calls.
