The Benefits of Technology for Seniors
Recent studies show that surfing the internet can reduce depression in older adults by 20 percent*, while using Facebook can improve their working memory, according to a study from the University of Arizona. Studies also show that seniors who visit social networks have a positive emotional experience**.
At Visiting Angels Loveland, we understand how loneliness and isolation can lead to anxiety and depression, which is why in addition to providing meaningful companionship, our caregivers encourage our clients to use technology to stay in touch with their loved ones.
