Today at Ridge Oak, volunteers helped seniors with several different technology questions. One senior needed assistance learning how to use Uniguest Community, and the volunteer guided them through the application and its features. Another senior wanted to set a special text tone for a specific contact, and the volunteer showed them how to customize the notification sound. Volunteers also helped a senior clean up their emails and demonstrated how to use speech-to-text to make sending messages easier.
At today’s technology support session, volunteers helped seniors become more comfortable navigating community applications, customizing their devices, and using features that make communication easier. Through patient, hands-on guidance, residents gained practical skills that allowed them to use their devices with greater confidence and independence. The session also provided an opportunity for volunteers and seniors to connect and strengthen the supportive community at Ridge Oak.
