My parents are similar. They had a cash/coin business and would count everything by hand. My mom developed shoulder/neck problems. I repeatedly asked them if I could buy them a bill and coin counter. Eventually I just bought them.

They thanked me and wished I had done it 5 years sooner.

One problem is that my parents treat all spending the same - whereas I think spending to invest in their health or quality of life is a no brainer.
