There are a couple of aging in place services available for seniors that help them stay connected with the world around them. The first one is more for people who don’t get out of their home on their own as much as they would like because they don’t drive or have the ability to get around on their own. Therefore, a concierge service helps get them to the doctor and other appointments, pick up groceries for them or takes them shopping, and arranges for and monitors work done in their home.
The second is a monitoring of their well-being by looking after them and keeping them linked to their social environment. Through scheduled activities they are reminded to do, healthy updates, and video conversations with friends and family, they can remain quite vibrant to help them counteract and overcome such issues as loneliness, forgetfulness, or lack of contact with the outside.
