Today at Fellowship Village, volunteers helped seniors with several technology questions. One senior needed assistance setting up a new Amazon tablet, and the volunteer helped connect it to the FVBR resident Wi-Fi, sign into their Amazon account, and download games from the app store. Another senior needed help signing into the guest Wi-Fi, and the volunteer guided them through the process of verifying their phone number to access the network. A senior also noticed that autofill was entering the wrong ZIP code when completing surveys. The volunteer explained that the incorrect information was coming from their saved contact information and showed them how to edit the ZIP code in their Contacts so that autofill would provide the correct information.
At today’s technology support session, volunteers helped seniors become more comfortable setting up new devices, connecting to Wi-Fi networks, and managing information stored on their phones. Through patient, one-on-one guidance, residents gained practical skills that made everyday technology easier to use and allowed them to solve similar problems more independently in the future. The session also provided an opportunity for volunteers and seniors to connect and strengthen the supportive community at Fellowship Village.
