My 83 year old grandfather has an iPhone (SE 2020 64GB) and we would like to be able to share his location with his son (my dad).

Now obviously I know how to do this with Find My. However the issue is two-fold:

1. we don't want him to know we're doing this because he'll be mad, but its truly for his safety because he still tries to do things that an 83 year old man shouldn't be doing (moving furniture or other physical tasks) and he's getting more forgetful so we're worried about him going to the store but getting lost.
2. he constantly deletes texts and calls. Like his messages screen is always empty. I recently discovered that this is why he stops sharing his location when I secretly share it. He deletes the texts he has with my dad, it asks him if he wants to continue sharing his location, and he chooses no.

So, is there a way that we can set up location sharing that he won't know about and won't send him alerts so he turns it off? I suppose an app like Life360 would be an option, though then my dad would also need that app. Are there any sort of parental controls we can set up so my grandpa can't stop the location sharing?

Thank you!
