To that end, our caregivers utilize a variety of technologies to foster a sense of connection and purpose in those we care for.
Why Transparency of Care Matters
Coming from a vast caregiving experience, we have witnessed many times how professional senior support services yields the best results when families and care experts work together to create a wholesome, integrated care unit.
With this notion in mind, it is our practice to regularly share notes, photos, and updates with family members looking to stay up to date on their loved one’s wellbeing. Interested family members can see how a customized plan of care is implemented and what our referred caregiver is doing to elevate Mom or Dad’s physical and mental wellness on a daily basis.
How Technology Promotes Connection & Engagement
Hardly any of us can imagine a reality without emails, phone calls, and social networks anymore. We depend on these everyday technologies in our lives to stay connected with each other and the world.
Though seniors may fondly remember a time before technological breakthroughs like the internet, the benefits of using computers, smartphones, and other devices can be immense. More than ever, seniors can utilize these modern technologies to ward off loneliness and keep in touch with the family.
This is especially important at times when an in-person visit is not possible. For instance, a Skype video call can be a rather effective way for your loved one to see their grandkids and stay in the loop – it can be almost as heartwarming as a real visit and it can mean the world to them.
All things considered, there is no doubt that catching up with family and friends online can elevate your loved one’s quality of life. Staying connected prevents the harmful effects of social isolation for seniors and allows for a happier, more eventful life at home.
At Comfort Keepers, our caregivers provide senior support services and implement innovative solutions to reduce the effects of loneliness and depression in the seniors we care for. With the help of a trained Comfort Keepers, your loved one can:
- Regularly schedule phone and video calls with family out of town
- Utilize digital media to receive and share family photos and event recordings
