Social Care Program by Visiting Angels of Southwest Michigan

Visiting Angels of Southwest Michigan is proud to offer our social care program which is designed to help seniors stay connected to family and friends.

In today's digital age, staying connected is more crucial than ever, especially for seniors who live alone. At Visiting Angels of Southwest Michigan, we understand this need and have developed a social care program designed to bridge the technological gap for our elderly clients, helping them navigate and embrace the digital world so that they can maintain strong connections with family and friends.

Social Care by Visiting Angels

Our social care program is rooted in the belief that technology can significantly enhance the lives of seniors. By teaching them to use digital tools such as smartphones, social media platforms like Facebook, and communication services like Skype and FaceTime, they can stay connected with their loved ones. In addition, embracing technology will empower them to take part in the digital era, opening the door to online learning, reading, creating playlists, and listening to podcasts, watching YouTube videos, and so much more.

“... They also are very good at communication, which is another important trait to have...”

—Julia L,Google Review

Impact of Technology on Seniors

Recent studies have shown that technology has a positive impact on seniors. Surfing the internet can reduce depression by 20 percent, while a University of Arizona study found that seniors using Facebook showed a 25 percent improvement in mental “updating” skills essential for improving their working memory.

Additionally, engaging with social networking sites provides a positive emotional experience as indicated by physiological responses such as changes in breathing rates, brain stimulation, and pupil dilation.

Comprehensive Technology Help for Seniors

Our social care program encourages seniors to remain active and engaged, not just digitally but in all aspects of life. By embracing technology, they can participate in various online activities from virtual museum tours to online classes, further enriching their lives.

Technology Training Includes:

  • Basic cell phone use and an understanding of its features.
  • How to text, send emails, and use video calling platforms like Skype and FaceTime.
  • Guidance on creating and managing a Facebook account to interact with family and friends.
  • Education on how to safely shop online and use search engines for research.
  • The importance of online safety and security.
