r/AgingParents is a subreddit with 79k members. The most common kinds of discussions are pain & anger and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses parent, aging, struggling, frustrating, and help, and they frequently recommend/review adult diapers, cell phone, and mascara.
We are a community of adult children dealing with our aging parents. Asking questions and venting are encouraged but discussions about why you don't want to care for a parent and app/product recommendations are off-topic here.
