Nowadays, with social distancing and quarantine protocols keeping loved ones apart, many personal care assistants in Connecticut have taken on a new role: tech support for seniors who are now connecting with their families online.
In line with this, Covenant Care of Connecticut, LLC has put together a list of suggestions sitters can use to help their seniors.
- The Right Technology
Help seniors choose the right devices that can meet and complete their needs efficiently. Senior-friendly hardware and software can help your senior avoid confusion and frustration. - Sign Up for Classes
Once everything is set up, sign them up for a computer class. There are some that are especially designed to cater to older users. - Encourage Hobbies and Curiosities
The online world is full of fantastic and interesting content — help seniors find something they like. This can be a good antidote to isolation. - Provide Tech Support
Certified Nursing Aides should answer seniors kindly and compassionately when they ask about something regarding technology. This will help encourage them to learn more about their gadgets. - Check and Install Proper Security Software
Seniors are most vulnerable to online scams and viruses. Make sure they have the right security software installed in their devices.
