Helpful Tool for Caregivers
I ran across an interesting website, Tender Tidings Seniors, that offers a way of integrating technology with the difficulties so many baby boomers face as their parents age, the feelings of concern when leaving their elderly parents alone in the home.
Tender Tidings Seniors is a service that offers the ability to check in on elderly family members via streaming video. As described on the site, the service provides peace of mind since “no matter where you are, at the click of a mouse you can check on your mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, or elderly friend. If need be, you can take action. Otherwise, you can get back to work knowing your loved ones are safe and secure. Now, seniors can live alone without actually having to be alone.”
The toll of aging loved ones is an emotional one and this service could offer some level of comfort when you cannot be there physically for that loved one. For additional caregiver resources please visit LTC Connects’ Resource Center to learn more about long term care
