In this episode, we discussed an intergenerational communications platform that creates lasting connections by being a simple, safe, and effective way to connect aging adults with family, friends and care teams. In addition to video chat and photo sharing, through the touchscreen users can access a wide range of health and wellness tools, helping you to get ahead of the curve with preventative fitness and wellness in general.

We also learned about a “no re-model required” accessible shower that can be assembled in any room of the home without any plumbing changes - just seven main hard plastic pieces that snap together (no tools or screws required), and it includes ramp access. Great for newly immobile care receivers or multi-level homes!
