Integrating Technology with Care
When families and home care providers work together as a senior's integrated care team, the most effective living assistance programs occur. Caregivers at Comfort Keepers use internet portals to provide care notes, changes in senior care services, pictures, and updates to family members. Family and friends can watch the caregiver's execution of the individualized care plan, their loved one's physical and mental health, and the caregiver's attempts to bring hope, purpose, and joy into everyday living activities.

Using Technology to Improve 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 society. When being together is not possible, using technology to create a sense of intimacy may be just as helpful as in-person encounters.
Maintaining relationships with family and friends is crucial for the mental and emotional wellness of elders. There is little doubt that the elderly benefit from being connected to the outside world. Social isolation has several adverse effects, including decreased cognition and depression. Through creative solutions, our living assistance services can aid seniors in overcoming feelings of loneliness and social isolation. This might include:
- Phone and video conversations
- Texting to remain in touch with friends, family, and the community
- Cognitive function and memory-boosting games and activities
- Access to music, dancing, photography, and hobbies via the internet
- Using our SafetyCare Products to safeguard your loved one's safety
- Sharing of family pictures and video records of events
- Grocery shopping can be done online
- Doctor's appointments can be scheduled and attended virtually
The Benefits of Seniors Using Technology
Using technology has a plethora of benefits for the elderly population. It may significantly influence their quality of life by keeping them healthy and socially engaged to those they care about. It can also provide respite for family caregivers who are juggling caregiving duties with their own life. The below list is just some of the benefits of using technology and living assistance services for seniors and their families:
- Seniors who utilize technology and social media had fewer chronic illnesses and lower levels of depression than those who do not.
