I've been through this the last few years before losing my parents. First the easy and cheap things. Get them a Ring to see who's coming and going. Get an Alexa video device for each floor - go with the Alexa ones because they are the only ones that let you to check-in without the recipient accepting the call. Get them Apple watches. Knowing that they just need to yell "Alexa, call johnny" and that you can peek in provides quite a bit of peace of mind.
Get a Power of Attorney for each. Make sure your understand their finances.
Go to Home Depot and get the bars for the bathroom. Check into the stair lifts, they aren't super-expensive and some Medicare plans cover them.
Do they still drive? If feasible, get them comfortable with Uber while they're still driving and the transition will be easier.
Talk to their doctors. See if you can get the doctor the prescribe home nurse visits and PT visits. It's another care vector that's covered by Medicare.
Start cleaning the house out now. I really didn't go through dad's stuff when he died, and then when mom died, I had to sort through everything. Figure out what's important while they're still around.
