How Speak2 Family Can Help Assisted Living Facilities
Speak2 Family helps seniors connect – whether living at home or in a care facility. Senior Speak2 users are able to use voice technology, like Amazon’s Alexa, to play messages from their families, as well as send messages. Speak2 Family can also help care facilities implement assisted living technologies and take care of their senior residents.
Similar to asking Alexa to play messages, users can speak into the device and ask for a caregiver, maintenance, what is on the dinner menu, and even what activities are on the schedule for that day. Having Alexa in the residents’ rooms gives nurses and caretakers the ability to know exactly what the resident needs. Especially in distinguishing between immediate help like a fall, or a non-emergency. Therefore, making the care they provide for seniors better! As a result, Speak2 has opened caregivers and nursing care facilities to increase the implementation of assisted living technologies.
