Sole earners (adult children) living in a different city from their aging parents in India, who are actively involved in managing their parents' care. You could also include aging parents themselves, if accessible.

Many sole earners in India face immense stress and logistical challenges when their aging parents live in a different city. These adult children are often juggling their own careers and families while trying to ensure their parents receive adequate care, from medical appointments to daily household support. This geographical separation creates a constant sense of worry and guilt, making it hard to respond quickly to emergencies or oversee day-to-day needs. The current options for remote elder care are fragmented. Families often rely on an informal network of neighbors, distant relatives, or a patchwork of uncoordinated local services. Finding reliable, trustworthy, and comprehensive support is difficult, leading to inefficiencies, communication gaps, and a constant fear that something might be missed. This situation leaves sole earners feeling overwhelmed and their parents without consistent, integrated support.

How do sole earners living in different cities currently manage their aging parents' care in India, what are their biggest challenges, and what support systems (formal or informal) do they rely on?
