The Conversation

Implementing technology supports into a care plan starts with a conversation. Safety, security, independence level and desire are all components care teams take into consideration when assessing what resources are available for an individual. Technology is not a one-size-fits-all solution; but through conversations between individuals, family members, providers, and case managers, a plan can be put in place to help increase independence, promote self-sufficiency, and achieve success for all parties involved.
