    • Caregiving Wins, Tech Fails, and Wi-Fi Tales
      Dec 16 2024

      In this episode of Care Tech and Tips, Barry and Bobby dive into a tech-filled discussion designed to make caregiving easier and more efficient. From Bobby’s triumph with Assistive Access for his father-in-law to Barry’s game-changing use of FaceTime screen sharing, the hosts explore how technology can save time, reduce stress, and bring caregivers peace of mind. They also tackle practical challenges like setting up Wi-Fi networks for smart cameras and managing the quirks of old-school mechanical timers.

      Barry wraps up the episode with a heartfelt segment on stress management, introducing a progressive muscle relaxation technique and promising a bonus guided exercise episode to help listeners reset and recharge. Packed with humor, real-life wins, and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone juggling caregiving and technology.

      Key Takeaways:

      • Assistive Access: Simplifies iPhone/iPad functionality for seniors, offering large buttons and easy navigation.

      • Screen Sharing via FaceTime: Saves time by allowing remote control and troubleshooting of loved ones’ devices.

      • Wi-Fi Upgrades: Moving to Wi-Fi 6 or 7 can ensure better performance for smart cameras and connected devices.

      • Camera Bandwidth Needs: Security cameras require robust bandwidth; plan accordingly when setting up multiple devices.

      • Stress Management: Progressive muscle relaxation can help caregivers reset and reduce anxiety.

      • Plan for Tech Updates: Anticipate changes like dark mode to avoid confusing older loved ones.

      Soundbites:

      1. “Assistive Access turned my father-in-law’s phone back into just a phone — and that’s all he needed.”

      2. “Screen sharing saved me three hours of driving and a ton of frustration!”

      3. “Wi-Fi upgrades are no longer optional if you’re running smart cameras.”

      4. “Mechanical timers: simple in theory, maddening in practice.”

      5. “Resetting your body’s normal after stress is the key to feeling human again.”
