Caregivers in Jupiter FL

• Calendar. Give your parents a sense of responsibility and control over their lives, as well as more confidence and structure, with the calendar feature of their tablet. Using this calendar you can schedule events, appointments, and activities so that your parents can check to see what they are doing on any given day. You can also set alarms to tell your parents what to expect so that they can prepare properly. Some systems allow you to synch calendars so your parents could add things to their calendar and then synch it with yours so that you know when they plan something.
• Reminders. For many seniors the most difficult part of medication and treatment compliance is simply remembering when they are supposed to take their medication or do a particular treatment. Reminders tell your parents at the correct time each day what they are supposed to do, particularly when there isn't a family caregiver or home care provider present to remind them.
• Mental stimulation. Keeping your parents' minds sharp and functioning at a high level means keeping them active. A tablet offers your parents the opportunity to take advantage of a variety of apps, games, and features that your parents can use to keep their minds working.
• Communication. Social interaction is vital to mental, emotional, and cognitive health, and this is especially true when it comes to regular interaction with loved ones. A tablet is a wonderful way to encourage your parents to communicate with their friends and family members in real time through avenues such as instant messaging, social media platforms, and video chatting.
• Entertainment. For many seniors, days are filled with long periods of downtime and waiting. Tablets offer many different types of entertainment, including games, writing and drawing features, and ebooks that will keep your parents' engaged and prevent boredom. These can also offer an opportunity to engage with you and others around them.
