By: Always Best Care Clinton Township

With Clinton Township’s vulnerable seniors continuing to shelter in place and limit out-of-home interactions, AARP Michigan’s virtual events are a serious boon, providing new ways to learn, laugh, and connect with the local community. Your loved one may not be especially tech-savvy, but our caregivers make it easy to get started.

Read on to see what’s happening online in the coming months, and learn how our caregivers help seniors make the most of virtual events, or call (586)-690-7500 to speak directly with a caregiver coordinator near you.

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

Senior Care for Cindy

We used Always Best Care of Macomb County for my friend and they were wonderful. We chose them because they had a little edge on the caregiving model that they use and they negotiated the price with us. The caregivers were professional and prompt. They provided my friend with companionship, helped with feeding, and they were available at night for nighttime issues that arose. They were also there to pass meds to her, to facilitate her taking her anti-anxiety pills, and to reassure her. They were always prompt in returning my phone calls and they kept a notebook so we could communicate. They solicited feedback too.
