FREMONT, CA: Thanks to easy-to-use technology from SONIFI Health, seniors living at Douglas County Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, are staying connected even when safety precautions may keep them apart. The long-term and memory care center has always had a packed schedule of daily activities to enrich senior residents' lives, and staff have worked hard to build a warm and welcoming community for everyone living there.
In light of COVID-19, many residents have had to isolate themselves in their rooms. Knowing the impact of missing out on social interactions and seeing friendly faces, Administrator Erin Nelson and Program Director Molly O'Neill partnered with SONIFI Health to add custom channels to TVs in residents' rooms. The new technology feature is not only keeping residents updated and entertained, but it's also giving them a way to participate in live events from the comfort of their room.
"Residents tune in daily to see what's new on the channels, and have said they love being able to see pictures and videos of other residents," said Sabra Mackey, the center's Recreational Activities Director, who updates the channel content and coordinates the live-streaming.
