How Technology Keeps Seniors Connected in Senior Living

It may feel like technology is rapidly increasing daily. For seniors, utilizing new technology is often difficult and frustrating. It may feel hard to stay in contact with your family when you feel like it’s impossible to understand all the gadgets they use. Once you get a hang of a few apps and services, technology will keep you socially active and connected to your friends and family. 

How Technology Helps Seniors

Technology connects seniors in retirement homes who are living far from relatives and loved ones. You can find the most modern retirement homes Glendale has to offer seniors. These retirement communities encourage a healthy relationship with technology to keep seniors connected with the people most important to them. Technology helps seniors by lowering feelings of social isolation, providing news updates, and even helping to keep seniors safe. 

Providing Safety to Seniors 

Learning how to utilize phone and computer apps like Zoom, FaceTime, and other forms of social media will keep you connected to the people you may not get to see so regularly. These apps are relatively easy to understand. Helpful caregivers at MorningStar Senior Living Glendale are sure to provide support in setting up these forms of technology so that you can remain up to date with your family and friends outside of your retirement home. 


Not only will you stay connected, but you can also easily contact your family or community caregivers if you feel unsafe or in need of help. 

Staying Up to Date

While watching TV is a popular way for seniors to receive their news updates, social media can also play a vital role. Social media allows seniors to interact with other ideas and perspectives surrounding media, politics, and news updates. While it is great to have access to these outlets, be mindful of what information may be misleading or biased.
