Young at heart lifestyle
Published on March 20, 2023 by In Media
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in seniors’ residences. Here are four benefits of using it every day!
- You keep in touch with your loved ones
Nothing can replace face-to-face interactions, but video meetings, text messages and social media exchanges allow you to stay in touch with your loved ones wherever they are in the world.
- You stay mentally and physically active
Tablets and smart phones hold many possibilities. Games like Tetris or Solitaire work on spatial recognition and memory, while logic games (sudokus, chess, etc.) stimulate problem solving. In addition, video games using motion sensors motivate you to move. In particular, they can help improve your strength, balance and endurance.
- Your security is enhanced
Smartwatches and other personal monitoring devices can calculate your steps, heart rate, sleep patterns and stress levels for the good of your health. Some devices provide an emergency option that can immediately contact a responder or a loved one if necessary (eg in the event of a fall).
- You benefit from several amenities
It is now possible to make all your purchases online or with an application and have them delivered to your home. This is ideal if your mobility is reduced or if bad weather prevents you from going out.
Learning to use new technologies is very practical. See if your residence offers initiation workshops to better tame them!
