I'm wondering if such a thing exists?

To be able to have new messages / reminders for my parents to pop up on a screen in their kitchen, without me having to phone them (which disturbs their routine). e.g. today when the carer visit has changed time.

Permanently on / wakes up if I send a message

What about an echo show?

Second an Alexa Show.

There are often threads on this on Elderly Parents, eg a recent detailed one on the Echo Show here: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/elderlyparents/5503495-using-an-echo-show-remotely-to-support-elderly-parents-who-struggle-with-tech?
