Integrating Technology and Senior Home Care
The most effective in-home living support programs occur when families and home care professionals work together as an integrated care team for seniors. Comfort Keepers caregivers utilize internet portals to communicate with family members about care notes, changes in caregiver services, images, and other updates. Family and friends can monitor the caregiver's compliance with the tailored care plan, their loved one's physical and mental health, and the caregiver's attempts to infuse everyday living activities with hope, purpose, and joy.
Utilizing Technology to Promote 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. Utilizing these technologies to foster a sense of intimacy may be just as valuable as in-person encounters – especially when physical proximity is not available.
Maintaining connections with family and friends is critical for the mental and emotional wellness of elders. And there is no doubt that the elderly gain from being connected to society. Social isolation has several negative implications, including reduced cognition and depression. Through creative solutions, our caregiver services can aid the elderly in overcoming feelings of loneliness and social isolation. This might 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 activity, such as access to music, dance, photography, and hobbies
- Utilizing our Safety 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
- Seniors Using Technology Has Several Benefits
Utilizing current technology aids the older population in a variety of ways. It has the potential to significantly improve their quality of life by keeping them healthy and socially engaged to those who matter most. Additionally, it can provide relief for family carers juggling caregiving obligations and personal life. The following are just a few of the advantages of using technology in caregiver services and their families:
- It has been found that seniors who use technology and social media have fewer chronic conditions and lower depression than those who don't.
- Seniors agree that using technology has made their life easier for running errands, getting medications, and finding reliable transportation.
- Modern technology is mentally stimulating for older adults as there are endless games, apps, and streaming services for them to take advantage of.
- Seniors and their families no longer have to fear being at home alone, thanks to safety devices that alert family members and the appropriate channels of an accident or fall.
