Using Technology to Improve Senior Home Care
When families and home care providers work together as a senior's integrated care team, the most successful in-home living assistance programs occur. Caregivers at Comfort Keepers use web portals to provide care notes, changes in care services, images, and updates to family members. Family and friends can keep an eye on the caregiver's implementation of the tailored elder care plan, their loved one's physical and emotional health, and the caregiver's efforts to bring hope, purpose, and pleasure into daily life activities.
Using Technology to Improve Connection and Engagement
Email, social media, and phone conversations keep many of us connected to one another and the rest of the world in today's culture. When being together in the same room is not possible, using these tools to create a sense of proximity may be just as useful as in-person encounters. Using some types of technology can be mentally stimulating for older adults.
Maintaining relationships with family and friends is critical for the mental and emotional wellness of elders. There is little doubt that elderly benefit from being connected to the outside world. Social isolation has a number of negative effects, including reduced cognition and depression. Through innovative solutions, our elder care services can assist seniors in overcoming feelings of loneliness and social isolation. This could include:
- Phone and video calls on a regular basis
- Texting to stay in touch with friends, family, and the community
- Cognitive function and memory-boosting games and apps
- Listening to music
- Sharing of family photos and video records of events
- Making and keeping virtual doctor's appointments
