For more information on integrating technologies into our in-home care, call our office at (806) 687-7800 or read on.
Enhancing Senior Care with Technology
The most effective in-home care programs occur when families and care professionals collaborate as a senior's unified care team. Caretakers at Comfort Keepers use online portals to communicate with family members about care notes, changes in care services, images, and other information. Family and friends can be kept informed about the caregiver's progress in implementing the tailored care plan, their loved one's nutrition and health, and their efforts to instill hope, passion, and joy into daily activities.
Improving Connection and Engagement with Technology
In today's culture, email, social platforms, and phone calls keep many of us linked to one another and the rest of the region. When being in the same room isn't possible, using these techniques to create a sensation of proximity can be just as effective.
Seniors' mental and emotional health depends on maintaining connections with family and friends. There is little denying that being connected to the outside world benefits seniors. Reduced cognition and sadness are two of the detrimental effects of social isolation. Our in-home care services can help seniors overcome feelings of loneliness and social isolation by utilizing technology. This could involve the following:
- Conversations by phone and video are scheduled regularly
- Texting to stay in touch with friends, family, and members of the community
- Games and activities that improve cognitive function and memory
- Providing internet access to music, dance, photography, and hobbies
- Utilizing our SafetyCare Devices to secure the safety of your loved ones at home, especially if they are alone
- Family photos and video recordings of events are shared.
- Purchasing groceries through the internet
- Making virtual doctor's appointments and attending them
The Advantages of Seniors Utilizing Technology
The senior population benefits significantly from the use of modern technology. It has the potential to improve their quality of life by keeping them safe and socially engaged with those who matter to them. It can also help caretakers who manage caregiving responsibilities and their own lives. Some of the benefits of incorporating technology into our in-home assisted care services for seniors and their families include:
- Seniors who use technology and social media have fewer chronic ailments and are less depressed than those who don't.
- Seniors say that using technology to run errands, get medicines, and find reliable transportation has simplified their lives.
- Because there are so many games, apps, and streaming services to pick from, modern technology is intellectually interesting for seniors.
- Seniors and their families no longer have to worry about being alone at home. Our safety gadgets alert family members and the proper channels if an accident or fall occurs.
