Seattle, June 05, 2020 - Living Care Lifestyles residents
receive free laptops during the lockdown
Caring for the community has always been a top priority for
Net-Tech, Seattle’s only Professional Technology Organization (PTO). When the
pandemic lockdown separated area senior living residents from their loved ones,
Net-Tech put their always-present desire to help the community to work.
“When the virus hit, one of the first things we did was
reach out to all our clients to see where we could help,” said Matt Bratlien,
Net-Tech managing partner. “Assisted living facilities especially had their
hands full protecting their residents from the virus.”
Living Care Lifestyles was searching for ways for their
residents to stay engaged with loved ones during the stay-at-home order which
prohibits visitors to assisted living facilities. Working alongside Tracey Harvey,
Director of Community Solutions at Living Care Lifestyles, Net-Tech donated
over 40 laptops so residents could keep in touch with loved ones from the
safety of their homes during the pandemic.
The senior residents often have difficulty associating a
person with a voice, so the ability to see the person they are speaking with
makes it easier for them to connect during this stressful time. Quail Park, a
Living Care Lifestyles community, staff members coordinate video calls with
family and friends so residents can communicate regularly.
“Video calls for residents and families have made it
possible for seniors to see the person they are talking with so they can
communicate face-to-face during this stressful time,” said Harvey. “It’s been
an invaluable resource for our residents to be able to connect with their loved
ones.”
