Benefits

Staying connected to family and friends is an integral part of staying well and feeling happy and our Digital Wellness program can help you do that through the use of technology. We also understand that getting out and about and socialising can become a challenge as we age.

The Digital Wellness program will also show you how to be active in your community and follow your interests and hobbies through using online technology. You will improve your quality of life and have fun accessing music, books, puzzles and photos through the Digital Wellness program.

As a Digital Wellness program participant you will discover new ways to interact with friends and family and find outlets to make some new friends. You will gain a sense of achievement by learning new skills such as taking and storing photos and our staff will help with any challenges you face when using online technology.

Connect with your family and friends.

Stories from our participants

After losing her partner three years ago, Julie isolated herself and spent most days housebound fearful of venturing outside.

“For anyone feeling disconnected – please become involved in a Wellness Program. I can assure you the benefits are really amazing”

About the program

When you join the Digital Wellness program, you will receive an iPad to borrow for the duration of the program. It will take you through the steps to get you feeling confident in using digital technology to support your wellbeing.

As a result of COVID-19, our Wellness programs have been moved to a virtual setting meaning you can access it from wherever you live. Delivered once a week via a Zoom video call, you’ll be able to speak openly and even socialise with new friends, all from the comfort and safety of your own home. One of our Wellness Facilitators can even help you get set up if you’ve never used video calling before and all you need is internet connection.

The group sessions provide a great opportunity to share stories and tips on how to make the best use of the iPad. You will be supported by staff to achieve your individual Digital Wellness goals and learn new skills with like-minded people.

The Digital Wellness program has been incorporated into other Wellness for Independence programs including Memory Wellness.

How can I assist my family member to stay at home longer?

When it comes to broaching the subject of home care services with a loved one, it’s important to remind them that asking for help does not mean they will lose their independence. Seeking assistance enables people to stay safe and well in their home for longer.
