In the 21st Century it seems like everyone is connected to an electronic device. These electronic devices can be more work than what they are worth for some seniors. Here are some popular websites and smart phone applications that can be useful for the elder loved one in your life.
Taxi Services – Need to find a ride?
UBER is a ride sharing service, also known as a taxi service, that can be used in Northeast Ohio on most smart phones. UBER is a ride service that can be useful for those who do not require the assistance of a wheelchair and are comfortable traveling in the community. Customers simply select the location where they need to be picked up and a driver will arrive within minutes. Family caregivers have the ability to set the location where their elder loved one may need a ride from, allowing for a seamless pick up. UBER screens the drivers with background checks before they are permitted to drive. Absolutely no money changes hands because the driver is paid through the phone application!
