Health concerns can compel many decisions for those in senior care. Thousand Oaks, CA residents may be forced to remain isolated in their homes due to concerns over COVID or a number of other illnesses and diseases — the flu, or even nasty strains of the cold.
But those with chronic health conditions or other problems that the elderly face in Thousand Oaks, CA shouldn’t feel forced to cut off all relationships with their friends and loved ones. Not in this age of communications technology!
Now, we know, technology can be intimidating, confusing, and frustrating. Things keep changing, and it can be difficult to know where to click or what to do next. Not to worry, if you rely on Home Instead as your senior companion agency. Thousand Oaks, CA residents can rely on the compassionate, trained, licensed, and bonded CAREGivers of Home Instead to help navigate the sometimes difficult processes of the most effective and powerful online communications systems.
The largest and most well-known online communications community is Facebook. Many people are on Facebook, and it is a great place to share photos and send each other messages. But it is not the best for face-to-face interaction.
One of the best online video meeting sites is Zoom.com. Zoom allows up to 45 minutes of free face-to-face video chatting with many people at the same time. Zoom would make it possible for those with chronic health conditions, those who might need senior day care, those who need 24-hour elderly care, and even those in hospice care, who cannot see their friends and loved ones in person to at least chat via video conference.
And while Zoom is not difficult to use, the best caregivers for seniors in Thousand Oaks, CA to help with this and so many other needs would be the caring, trained, and licensed CAREGivers of Home Instead.
So don’t allow quarantine — your own or that of your loved ones — to keep you from seeing them face-to-face.
