Today at Fellowship Village, volunteers helped seniors with several technology questions. One senior needed assistance viewing the contents of an external hard drive, and the volunteer demonstrated how to access and navigate the files stored on the drive. Another senior needed help scheduling Zoom meetings and adding invitees, so the volunteer showed them how to create a meeting and send invitations to participants. Volunteers also helped seniors learn how to use the camera and flashlight on their phones, as well as how to download and delete applications. In addition, volunteers explained how to check for outdated applications so that seniors could keep their devices up to date.
At today’s technology support session, volunteers helped seniors become more comfortable navigating their devices and using digital tools for communication and everyday tasks. Through patient, hands-on assistance, residents gained practical skills that allowed them to use their phones and other technology with greater confidence and independence. The session also provided an opportunity for volunteers to connect with seniors and strengthen the welcoming and supportive community at Fellowship Village.
