Hello,
I work at a retirement community. I am hoping to come up with some plan or at least brainstorm how to use technology to make sure residents are able to still connect online...whether it is video chat with friends/family, playing words with friends, etc! I was hoping for some guidance. It is challenging because the residents can't really interact with anyone and all have various technology abilities (some only use email, others have large ipads and smartphones....some are clueless with technology but others are very advanced). I am hoping we have the financial resources to get tablets for each resident and to set them up and make it as simple as possible. In general, whatever plan I do come up with to present to upper management has to be extremely simple for the residents and can't come with an increased risk of contact with them. Any ideas? What is the simplest video chat software? Snapchat? Facebook facetime? I was considering Zoom. My other job is in an IT department and I have done a lot of training with it. There is definitely an advantage to Zoom because I could potentially provide remote support. Idk. I'm just looking for some ideas/guidance/discussion of any innovation you may have. I just want to explore the possibility of aiding them to connect with family/friends in isolation. I've always helped residents with technology in general so I have a strong communication basis with them. This is an opportunity to explore the use of technology I think. I can't find anything online about any sort of contingency plan others have created. My hopes is I could make it accessible and useful for the majority of the world if they we're to find it helpful in connecting with their vulnerable loved ones. I would love and appreciate any thoughts/ideas/dialogue. Bless you all.
