With families living further apart than previous generations,
ways to stay in touch with loved ones has become even more important. At The Carlisle Naples, a luxury resort-style senior living community in Florida, technology is being used to connect residents and families – despite the miles between them.
The community recently partnered with Advocate Home Care to create Skype sessions with residents and their out-of-state family members. The video-chatting technology has been well received by Carlisle residents and families alike who are now able to see each other’s facial expressions and body language during conversations.
“It makes it more real for me to be able to see her face,” said Karen, daughter of Carlisle resident Josephine. “When she’s smiling I know she’s happy there at The Carlisle and that makes me very happy too.”
WZVN, the Fort Myers ABC affiliate, recently visited The Carlisle
to talk to residents and their families about keeping in touch from half a
world away, especially during the holidays.
