Technology resources like Zoom, FaceTime, Alexa, even TikTok, can open a world of possibilities and help us stay connected. Unfortunately, for many seniors and nursing home residents, these resources can be challenging and overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Stefano Selorio is a 23-year-old Founder & CEO of Carevocacy, a company that provides tech tutors for seniors. In the interview we chat about how and why we should empower older adults to use technology, whether it’s to video chat with family, listen to music, post on TikTok, or play Wordle.
