Social Care Program for Seniors in Westerville, OH and Surrounding Areas
Currently, more seniors are technology savvy than ever. 67 percent of seniors use the Internet. Facebook use among users 65 and over is at 32 percent. Four-in-ten seniors own smartphones. Millions of seniors across the nation use technology to learn more about the world around them and maintain relationships with their family and friends.
"Because of this program, I was able to experience two of the greatest joys in life – becoming a grandmother and seeing my son become a new father. Skyping and Facebooking with my son and his family are now a normal part of my life. It helps me feel like I’m still an important part of their lives even though I’m miles and miles away."
