AYLUS Basking Ridge held a Tech Support Program at Ridge Oak Center on January 12th.Volunteers helped a senior learn how to change her Facebook profile picture, change the phone screen shutdown settings, and change the TouchID profile. Another senior had issues with changing their Kindle background from light to dark. The senior also had issues with how to get the keyboard to connect to their iPad. Additionally, a senior had issues asking if the password could be diabled. Finally, there was a senior who had downloaded a lot of scam apps, which the volunteer helped to clear out.
This event had a meaningful impact on the Ridge Oak senior community. Many participants expressed their gratitude for the one on one tutoring, as it helped them feel easier to use the high tech device, and help them to connect to online resources and activities. By helping their step by step, seniors gained greater independence in accessing information and engaging with Ridge Oak’s online system. The session also filled the gap of knowledge for seniors regarding technology. For many, it allowed seniors to have a fresh start in the modern age of technology.
