Assisting Seniors in Need through Innovation and Technology
Loading...
Uploaded by VolofAmerica on Sep 22, 2011
At Volunteers of America, we serve people in need at all stages of their lives, from the very young to the very old - and we utilize technology and other innovative techniques to assist the seniors we help.
At many of our health care facilities, we proudly offer It's Never 2 Late's (IN2L) customized computer systems with therapeutic and entertainment content and adapted hardware that empower individuals to connect, engage and enjoy life through the benefits of today's technology.
We also utilize WellAWARE, a low cost monitoring solution that gathers and reports behavioral and wellness information of a cared-for individual, in their home or at a senior living facility.
Another innovative program we offer is the Validation technique, developed by elder care innovator Naomi Feil. Validation is a method of communicating with very old people who, because of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, have become disoriented and withdrawn inside themselves.
