This week, a wonderful colleague from www.elderimpact.org, an online resource site helping seniors use technology to keep touch with family and monitor life’s requirements. Marie Villeza recommends the following tech tools for today’s seniors:
To Stay Connected:
The Easy Family App Suite features an easy to use interface and provides a fast and easy launch of email, video messages, Skype, Facetime, Flickr, Facebook photo albums, and more.
For Medication:
The Tricella Smart Pillbox will ensure your loved one follows his or her medication regimens. If he or she forgets to take the pills or accidentally takes the wrong ones, you’ll receive a notification.
Reminder Tools:
For brief lapses in memory or attention, such as misplacing car keys or forgetting to take medication or meals, the DeRoyal Reminder Rosie Clock provides up to 25 personal reminders. You can even record the messages yourself to give it a more personal touch.
Home Safety:
For safety around the home, there your local hardware store offers Motion Sensors and Smart Lights that turn on when someone enters the room. This can provide needed alert when activity occurs at unusual times, like the middle of the night.
Caring for your loved one may be difficult, and doing so from far away can present issues. Thankfully, technology, apps, and services are available to give you peace of mind and make caring from a distance a little easier. You can utilize these options to stay connected, monitor your loved one’s health and safety, and to ensure your loved one is well cared for.
