Log In, Take Part: How Caregivers Help Seniors Connect Online

Though Macomb County has made encouraging progress, slowing the spread and administering thousands of vaccines every day, the pandemic isn’t over yet, which means some of our vulnerable seniors will need to continue to shelter-in-place as much as possible.

But that doesn’t mean life has to stop. In addition to fostering COVID-safe social visits and outings, and providing activities and companionship in the home, our senior caregivers can help your loved ones take advantage of online events and programs to connect with their community, learn new things, and greatly enrich their Golden Years.

And when it comes to virtual events, Clinton Township’s seniors are truly spoiled for choice. AARP Michigan is constantly rolling out new online offerings to enrich the lives of seniors and foster meaningful connections in our community.

These are just a few of the events Macomb County seniors can take part in over the coming months, completely free of charge:

• Take part in the Medicare Basics presentation on September 9th and have all your coverage questions answered
• Brew up a cup of joe and come Learn a Latte about building cross-generational relationships on September 15th
• Boost memory, movement and mood with a fun home-based drum workout as part of the Rhythms of Life: Virtual Rhythm Circle event on September 18th
• Take part in the AARP HomeFit program on October 21st to help your loved ones plan for the future

Whichever of these online offerings you choose, our caregivers can help your loved ones make the most of the experience by:

• Assisting with online event registration via the AARP Michigan website
• Purchasing a webcam, microphone, or other hardware/equipment required for participation (e.g. a hand drum for the Rhythms of Life event) and helping with basic setup and troubleshooting
• Creating a calm, quiet, and comfortable space so your loved one can focus
• Attending online events with your loved one to help break the ice
• Providing schedule reminders so your loved one never misses an event, and more
