Technology offers numerous ways for seniors to connect with people and engage in their favorite activities from home. Here are some ways to offer tech support to local seniors.

• Research and recommend devices that will allow them to navigate the internet easily, like an iPad. Just remember to protect it with a good case!
• Show them how to order groceries and other essentials online.
• Teach them how to use video chat services and social media to communicate with long-distance loved ones.
• Teach them how to use a website to find and connect with former Denver-area high school students they went to school with.
  

Seniors can have a hard time keeping up with housework. Whether you’re good in the kitchen or you have a knack for landscaping, offer to lend a hand!

• You could even help them hire people to keep their homes neat and tidy. 
• Cook up a batch of freezer-friendly meals that they can pop in the oven for dinner.
• Offer to help with general home maintenance to repair or spruce up parts of the house.
• Help them develop healthy morning habits such as light stretching, hydrating, and meditating.
  

Aging-in-place can be much easier—and safer—with a few basic home upgrades. Offer to help a local senior make home improvements to better meet their needs.

• Install grab bars in the bathroom and bedroom.
• Replace door knobs with lever-style handles.
• Increase the lighting throughout the home, especially in stairways and dark hallways.
• Apply non-slip rugs and runners to reduce their fall risk.

Reaching out to seniors in your neighborhood is a great way to lend a hand to those who need it. For people aging-in-place without relatives nearby, neighbors and other community members can provide a significant source of assistance and support. Get in touch with a local senior and find ways to help them navigate the challenges of daily life.
