From the early days of Alexa, customers have loved the simplicity of the voice service. With the current state of the pandemic, loneliness and managing day-to-day tasks can be overwhelming for seniors. Alexa has become a companion for many allowing them to feel more confident about living independently. We have also observed residents in senior living using this device to stay connected without having to fiddle with technology!

Now, Amazon has introduced the “Care Hub”, a new set of U.S. features designed to help simplify the remote caregiving experience for both the person providing support and their aging loved one. “Isolation and loneliness are common issues for elders. “Being able to easily reach out is the next best thing to being there. Quarantine or lack of mobility would be more manageable with these available devices.

Stay the course, stay strong, stay well, mask up, and stay tuned!
