Home Health Care: Technology is advancing all the time.

New apps and devices are coming out that have many new features, as well. People from all generations can utilize technology for entertainment, communication, learning, and much more. If you are caring for your elderly loved one, it may be time to look into some technology devices that may come in handy for them. A home health care provider can help you with this.

Fitness Watches

Does your elderly loved one need to exercise more consistently? Do they need to track their calories or step count? If this is the case, there are many fitness watches that could help them to do this. The Fitbit, Samsung, and Apple watches are all great for doing this. In fact, with these watches, your elderly loved one could even set up fitness goals and attempt to reach them each day or week. If needed, you or a companion care at home provider could help your elderly loved one to set up their fitness watch.

Shoe Inserts

Do you worry that your elderly loved one is going to wander off while in public? Maybe, they are in the early stages of dementia and are starting to forget where they are at times. If this is the case or you have any other concerns about your elderly loved one’s whereabouts, you may want to get smart sole inserts for their shoes. That way, if your elderly loved one is in public or away from their house, you can keep track of where they are at. If they wander off, you or a home care provider could go get them.

Home Health Care: Smartphone Apps for Medication Reminders

Does your elderly loved one often forget to take their medications? Maybe they remember to take the ones in the morning, but by evening time they forget their medications. The good news is there are so many smartphone apps available that will beep or give off other notifications as medication reminders. If you aren’t sure your elderly loved one will hear those notifications, you can also have an elderly care provider give the reminders.

Home Health Care: Conclusion

These are some of the technology devices and apps that you may want to get for your elderly loved one. With technology changing all the time, there will be more devices that come out which can be beneficial for your elderly loved one. You can even look up tech for senior citizens and find other helpful devices, as well.

Valerie has the unique experience with home care as she has experienced it from both ends of the spectrum, as a caregiver and as needing care herself as a cancer survivor. Valerie says, “Taking care of someone you love is a physically, mentally and demanding labor of love.Taking care of my mom was the hardest thing I have ever done. It has given me an insight and perspective not many people understand unless you are doing it or have done it.I loved taking care of my mom.I love helping others take care of their love ones too.And now that I’ve been sick, it’s given me a whole new level of empathy and understanding for those who are sick and need help.”

Valerie’s schedule varies daily, but she loves visiting with our clients, families, caregivers, our network partners and being in the office.Says Valerie, “Every day is different, but I wake up excited about what we do, inspired by our team, clients and caregivers.I strive to be a resource to the community.I love my team and I love what we do every day. I like to think my mom would be proud.”
