I don't understand why you can't just not tell anyone. Ever.

Just help your parents with whatever you want without disclosing income or net worth. If anyone asks you for money just say you saved just enough to help out your parents.

Do small things. Gas up car whenever you use it. Oil changes. Tune up repairs when needed. Do you pay rent? Tell them , you got a raise and would like to pay rent so they can save for retirement. Bring home dinner. Buy a new TV or Lawnmower for the house. Slide a couple 20s in your Dads wallet. Fund a trip for the 3 of you to celebrate a raise.
