Using technology to support senior home care

Families and home care professionals work together as a senior's integrated care team to provide the most successful live-in care programs. Caregivers at Comfort Keepers use the Internet to communicate with family members about care notes, service changes, photos, and other information. Family and friends can keep track of the caregiver's progress in implementing the tailored care plan, their loved one's physical and emotional well-being, and the caregiver's efforts.

Using technology to increase engagement and foster connection

Thanks to email, social media, and phone chats, many of us are connected to the rest of the world in today's culture. When being together in the same room is impossible, using these tools to create a sense of closeness could be just as valuable as in-person encounters.

Seniors' mental and emotional health depends on maintaining relationships with family and friends. There's no denying that being connected to the outside world benefits seniors. Isolation from others has several adverse effects, including decreased cognition and sadness. Using innovative methods, our live-in care services and each home caregiver can assist seniors in overcoming feelings of loneliness and social isolation. Here are several examples:

• Calls and video calls on a regular schedule.
• Staying in touch with friends, family, and the community through text.
• Cognitive and memory-enhancing games and activities.
• Facilitating internet activities, including music, dance, photography, and hobbies.
• Photo and video sharing among family members.
• Grocery shopping online.
• Virtual doctor's appointments can be scheduled and attended online.

Technology's benefits for seniors

For the senior population, utilizing modern technology has numerous advantages. It can significantly improve their quality of life by keeping them healthy and socially engaged with those they care about. It can also offer respite to family caregivers juggling caregiving responsibilities and personal life. The following are just a few of the advantages of incorporating technology into senior care assistance services:

• Seniors who utilize technology and social media have fewer chronic illnesses and are less depressed than those who do not.
• Seniors agree that technology has made doing errands, getting prescriptions, and finding reliable transportation easier.
• Many games, applications, and streaming services are available to older individuals, making modern technology mentally exciting.
• Safety devices that inform family members and the necessary channels in the event of an accident or fall have removed the dread of seniors and their families being alone at home.
