Solutions for Successful Aging
Cool Technologies
There are a couple of cool technologies I have come across in the last couple of months that could be helpful to caregivers:
1. Quiet Care - A passive home health security system that can be very helpful for those of you wanting to keep your loved ones at home, but have the security of mind that they are okay.
2. Jott converts your voice into emails, text messages, reminders, lists and appointments. You can set up an account for anyone and they can respond, read and reply to emails over their phone. Also, Jott allows you to set up an emergency contact list so that if something does happen, you can send everyone in your contact list an important message at once. And best of all - IT'S FREE!

One way to get the younger generation engaged with the careHELPing of Successful Agers is to involve them in the process of utilizing and training in technology.
A grandson could invest an hour with his grandmother—in that time, he may teach her to use Jott or send an email, and an investment was just made in the family legacy. Encourage this opportunity for service from those who know the technology best. What if your family knew more about each other and about your past as a family unit becase a granddaughter took the time to blog about her last conversation with grandma on the family CaringSource page.... Life changing for all involved.

Thank you for this tip Bryan. I like the Jott one. I may look into that. It sounds like a good thing to have and the best part like you said, it is free. Thank you for your time that you spend on helping us, the caregivers to be better at what we are trying to do. Every little thing helps that someone else may be able to think and pass along to others.
