Technology guides for seniors: Digital help straight to your home!

Technology guides for seniors: Digital help straight to your home!

There is reason to be happy in Uelzen: The Hanseatic city's senior citizens' service office is now offering a special service that could serve as a role model for younger generations. Volunteer technology guides are placed to make it easier for older people to use digital technology. The support takes place directly in your own home and includes setting up devices and explaining applications. If you think about the many digital offerings on the market today, it quickly becomes clear: a certain helplessness can arise here, especially for seniors with limited mobility or little experience in using computers.

“How I would love to use the new equipment if only someone could show me how it works!” – this or something similar could be the tenor among older people in the Uelzen district. This new offer closes exactly this gap. The support is free, only travel costs may be incurred, which makes the matter all the more attractive. If you are interested in this service, you can reach the senior citizen service office at the telephone number 0581 800-6287.

Diverse offers of help

The senior citizen service office not only acts as a central contact point for information and advice, but also offers services for senior citizens and their relatives. This includes promoting a self-determined life in a familiar environment. The office provides comprehensive information on assistance, cultural and educational offerings and care services. The placement of volunteer senior companions and form guides is also part of the wide range of services aimed at helping seniors overcome administrative hurdles.

In addition, those interested receive recommendations on how to combine work and care. The connection to volunteerism is also strong, as the office is constantly looking for volunteers who are willing to share their time and knowledge with older generations. If you are also interested in volunteering, please feel free to contact the office.

Digital support for all generations

The importance of digital support, especially for older people, is also highlighted by the initiative Digital Pact Age clearly underlined. This platform offers additional resources and information to make access to the digital world easier. The Digital Pact promotes digital participation and is committed to education and skills transfer - aspects that are becoming increasingly important, especially for society.

In summary, it can be said that with the new offer, Uelzen is taking an important step towards a technology-oriented and self-determined senior citizen policy. It remains to be hoped that many older people will benefit from this valuable support and that the technology guides will quickly become established. Because when it comes to contact with the digital world, every beat counts!
