Technology is not a luxury these days – it is the best wayof keeping in touch with those who we love. And staying in touch is becoming even more important, as we age.
While some senior citizens are very good with their gadgets, others are somewhat reluctant to use them. It is a pity, as technology could help us a lot –
If children or parents live far away, what could be better than Skype, -to see the loved ones and to talk to them every day?
What could be better than Facebook, to stay in touch with friends and family, and to stay abreast of the latest news?
Emails allow us to communicate at our own pace – however, opposite to good old snail mail, we only have to wait for a couple of seconds for a letter to get delivered.
Technology has an amazing power to bring people together, reuniting families. And at BeautifulYears.com, they are ready to help senior people to use this power.
BeautifulYears.com is a Bangalore-based startup, aiming at improving lives of the elderly and of those who take care of them. They can make your home a safer and happier place for your parents, applying innovative anti-skid solutions, as well as necessary bathroom and bedroom equipment, chair lifts, daily aids, home automation for seniors, and more.
They can also help you find whatever you need, be it a trusted nurse, a good physiotherapist, or a retirement community.
They are happy to announce theclasses and activities for senior citizenstart at the BeautifulYears Experience centre in Koramangala.
Their first workshop for senior citizens will be about using smart phones, iPads, and laptops. They would like to help the older generation to learn basic skills –at their own pace, in the company of their peers, without any pressure.
The workshop is scheduled for March 24th at 4:30pm, at BeautifulYears Experience Centre, No 48, 2nd Main, Koramangala 1st block (near Wipro park).
You can call at 080-64900333 / 9980571240 to register and to ensure your participation, as they will be able to accommodate only 10 people for the first session. And please bring those devices, which you intend to you use on a daily basis.
Let’s not miss all the fun that technology brings to us, learning it in an easy and relaxed manner.
But it is not only about technology. One of the most important ways to age gracefully and happily, is to keep learning new skills even at the most advanced age. It is a well-known fact that diseases like Alzheimer’s are difficult to prevent, but their symptoms are much less severe in those elder people who exercise their minds on a daily basis.
Hence, Beautiful Years Experience Centre is planning to conduct sessions on multiple topics (e.g. on meditation, spirituality, happiness, and others).
