Aging Parent Answers Doorbell Without Looking
By: Frank Engelman. Updated: January 27, 2021.

Problem description
My Mom jumps up to answer the doorbell every time it rings. I worry about two things.
- I worry she opens the door to strangers without knowing who they are.
- I worry she does not always hear the doorbell and might miss out on someone she actually wants to talk to.
