The government has many plans established to provide seniors with cell phones to call their friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because you&#8217;re getting older doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t keep up with this technology world we are living in. Talk to your family about possibly getting a smartphone, tablet, or laptop so you can learn to access electronic services, connect with social media accounts like Facebook. Stay connected with what&#8217;s happening with your loved ones, reconnect with friends from the past, and also make new friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #2 &#8211; Learning From Others<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengthening your social network will help you face specific problems and enhance your quality of life. It\u2019s not only about avoiding loneliness, but you can learn from those that surround you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to your senior friends or reach out to those in your community about:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Living independently at home.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As a senior, you are at higher risk of different things, for example, falls. So talk about how they have been able to redesign their daily routines to make life easier and how they&#8217;ve created a safer home.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Living in a nursing home.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Learn about the impact living in a nursing home or assisted living has had on their lives. Ask questions like: What are the pros of living in a nursing home? What effect has it had on my social security? Will I have enough to buy the things I need?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip #3 &#8211; Finding Valuable Resources<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main thing you should be aware of is that you\u2019re not alone! You\u2019ll find information about various programs in your community to help financially, physically, and emotionally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure where to start?
