At PeachTree Place Assisted Living near Salt Lake City, we do our best to provide the services, resources, and helpful tips to help improve the quality of life for seniors. For instance, did you know that there are many apps for your smartphone that can significantly make senior living a bit easier and more fun?
Phone Apps for Seniors
A smart phone is an amazing tool. Did you know that you can pay bills, manage medication, talk face-to face with friends and family members, listen to your favorite book, and play mind-sharpening games, and more, all with the touch of your phone? Here are 5 apps that we think any senior would enjoy:
Mint: Personal Finance and Money
Never worry about missing a bill again. The Mint app helps to manage all of your finances in one place. You can keep track of things such as your spending habits, your credit score, and your account balances. With Mint, you can even create a budget and pay bills online.
Medisafe Pill Reminder and Medication Tracker
Do you ever have those times where you forget whether or not you have taken your medication? Worry no more! With the Medisafe app, you can get medication reminders, keep track of dosing, and even see a report of your progress, which can then be shared with your health care provider.
Skype
Would you like to see your kids and grandkids a little more often than you’re able? Skype makes it easier to talk face-to-face with loved ones. With the Skype app on your phone, you can “be there” for the special moments you might otherwise miss.
Audible
Seniors often struggle with dwindling vision, which can make reading a chore at times. Audible offers a great solution with its huge selection of audiobooks. You can listen to anything from great classical literature, modern mystery novels, to self-help books, and everything in between.
Lumosity
Keep your mind sharp with the Lumosity app. Studies show that seniors can lessen the risk of dementia and Alzheimers by doing activities that challenge and stimulate the brain. Lumosity provides a variety of brain games and puzzles to keep those thinking and memory skills in shape.
