Social Care - Nurse care+

Nursecare+ knows that providing care for your loved one requires a holistic approach. This holistic approach entails care for the individual, both inside and outside of the home. By utilizing modern technology, our social care program helps families stay connected by using platforms like Facebook, X, Instagram, WhatsApp etc., to remain active and engaged.

Digital Tools Help Seniors Connect to Family and Friends

Adopting a digital social life may not come so easily to older adults who have difficulties grasping new technology. However, recent studies have shown the following emotional and mental benefits digital tools can have on the elderly:

  • Surfing the internet can reduce depression in Seniors by 20 percent.
  • A University of Arizona study finds seniors who use Facebook showed a 25 percent improvement in mental “updating” skills – essentially improving their working memory.
  • Another study shows seniors who visit social networking sites like Facebook have a positive emotional experience when measured by breathing rates, brain stimulation and pupil dilation.
