Video conferencing allows seniors to connect with friends, family, and caregivers without leaving their homes. It provides opportunities for social interaction, participating in virtual events, and accessing online resources for mental and physical stimulation.

Some benefits include reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness, improving cognitive function through mental stimulation, increasing access to healthcare providers through telemedicine services, and participating in remote exercise classes or therapy sessions.

Popular platforms include Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, and Google Meet. These platforms offer easy-to-use interfaces, group video calls, screen sharing capabilities, and various security features to ensure a safe and secure online experience for seniors.

Caregivers can provide step-by-step instructions, set up video conferencing accounts, schedule virtual social events or appointments, troubleshoot technical issues, and offer ongoing support and encouragement to help seniors feel comfortable and confident using the technology.
