This can be a difficult time.

Family aging can become overwhelming especially if your an only child. With a minimal effort you should be able to find many avenues of counsel and help in your area. Depending on their needs there can be a great deal to cover at first.

The one thing I kept forgetting is that they don't want to be a bother and simply asking them what they may need may not be enough.

If your dealing with outside care document everything, take nothing for granted. Start files on every organization, Doctors, and care givers. File all emails and phone records. Take note, date and time of verbal orders. You and many others may never need this amount of detail information but if you do it will be invaluable. Care of the aged is a lightly regulated industry of angels and a few villains so be thrifty with your trust.

Most importantly, don't forget to take care of yourself!
