As over 72 million US Boomers age, the demand for caregivers continues to rise, with many older adults expressing a strong desire to stay in their homes as they age. Yet, with a global shortage of caregivers, both professional and familial, finding adequate care is becoming increasingly challenging. Caregivers are needed not only by older adults but also by those with disabilities, children, and veterans. As more people seek to age in place, new scalable solutions are essential to address this growing demand and empower individuals when caregivers aren't available.
Technology is playing a crucial role in lightening the caregiving burden and empowering those who require support. Government-funded devices that host tech tools like GetSetUp virtual programming are available to certain groups of older adults and veterans. GetSetUp offers programs to help recipients connect to their devices, trains them on how to use them, and provides enrichment classes in technology and wellness to support caregiving efforts.
"Technology can help lighten the caregiving burden and empower those who require support."
With the rise of smart homes, health tech, and social tech, active agers can now manage their care more effectively, monitor their health, and connect with medical professionals from home. This shift is not only beneficial for older adults but also for people with disabilities, veterans, and those managing chronic illnesses.
Smart tech tools can offer much of the support that caregivers typically provide, making homes safer and more age-friendly. For example, smart devices can help prevent falls, reduce energy costs, and ensure regular routines are maintained. These tools are becoming more affordable, and the initial investment can lead to significant savings and peace of mind.
"Smart tech can help make people’s homes more age-friendly and offer ways to monitor loved ones from afar."
Virtual learning and social interaction through platforms like GetSetUp not only offer enjoyable activities but also provide key resources for managing care, improving health literacy, and supporting caregivers. These opportunities are often available at no additional cost through health plans, area agencies on aging, and other organizations.
GetSetUp's customizable programs educate older adults and veterans on how to find, use, and access caregiving resources, making it a preferred partner for governments, health plans, and diverse organizations. By helping individuals learn together, these programs create empowering changes that lead to healthier, happier lives.
