Constant beeps

Yes,
  it is annoying,
    but he is trying to connect.

He doesn't realize his phone is set to speaker,
  and he doesn't remember those he attempts to call,
     well,
        they are long gone.

So,
  set aside this passing irritant,
     and wait til he goes to sleep.

Then,
  I will take the phone off speaker.

It is the least we can do for our elders.. patience and kindness…
Dementia.. ( in my family, Alzheimer's ) well.. you take it a moment at a time..

Bit of both, depending on the side of the family. You are right. A moment at a time, and exercise patience, and kindness.
