Make sure the parent stays appreciate. If the parent is difficult, support your sibling and encourage the parent to be gracious.
My sibling thought sending me a bunch of junk she bought online was doing her part. I asked her to stop sending me stuff I don't want or need and to instead encourage mom to be gracious not just to us, but to doctors, nurses, helpers. Instead my sibling complained to mom that I told her to stop sending me a bunch of stuff. That created drama and stress.

Calling the parent to listen about their day and telling interesting parts of your day can lessen caregiver's duty to provide small talk.
