Using Technology to Help Seniors at Home
When families and home care professionals work together as a senior's integrated care team, the most successful in-home living support programs are created. Caregivers at Comfort Keepers use web portals to keep track of care notes, changes in services, photos, and updates for family members. The caregiver's implementation of the tailored care plan, their loved one's physical and emotional health, and the caregiver's efforts to infuse daily living activities with hope, purpose, and pleasure can all be monitored by family and friends.
Technology as a Tool for Fostering Connection and Increasing 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 as helpful as in-person encounters.
Maintaining relationships with family and friends is critical for seniors' mental and emotional well-being. Elders, without a doubt, benefit from being connected to the outside world. Isolation from others has several negative implications, 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 involve the following:
- Regularly scheduled phone and video calls
- Texting to stay connected to friends, family, and community
- Games and activities that promote cognitive function and memory
- Facilitating online training, such as access to music, dance, photography, and hobbies
- Utilizing our SafetyCare Products to ensure your loved one can be safe at home - even when alone
- Sharing of family photos and event recordings
- Shopping online for groceries
- Scheduling and attending virtual doctor's appointments
Technology's Advantages for Seniors
For the elderly, utilizing modern technology has several advantages. It can significantly improve their quality of life by keeping them healthy and socially engaged with the people they care about. It can also allow family caregivers a break from their caregiving responsibilities while maintaining their personal lives. A few of the advantages of using technology in elder care services for seniors and their families are listed below:
- Seniors who use technology and social media have fewer chronic diseases and are less depressed than those who do not.
- Seniors agree that technology has made it easier for them to conduct errands, receive medications, and find reliable transportation.
- Modern technology is psychologically exciting for older individuals because there are many games, applications, and streaming services to choose from.
- Thanks to safety gadgets that inform family members and the relevant channels in the event of an accident or fall, seniors and their families no longer have to worry about being alone at home.
