Recent studies show computing for seniors reduces depression and loneliness. The stimulation of the brain plays a vital role in creating a happy attitude. Please call us today if you know of someone that we could help.
We do apply a sliding scale fee to groups of two or more.
Established in Jan 2010, this business was founded as a way to improve communication between families, particularly when there is a senior involved who strictly relied on the traditional (telephone/snail mail). While we want seniors to still use the traditional methods of communication, we also want them to experience the thrill of the more modern forms of near instant communication with e-mails and social sites.
It was very important to us that we provide an activity that benefits the family/caregiver as well. Our services gives them a break by providing the caregiver a modern form of communication with their loved one. Caregivers/family members can have a very stressful time taking care of a loved one. Many caregivers incredibly balance two households, two sets of finances, two families and full-time careers. We understand you.
Remember, we make house calls in homes, retirement communities, and senior communities. The more students we have, the lower the hourly rate goes!
