Help that takes its time
Good tech help for seniors is patient, in plain words, and comes to you. It is not about being made to feel slow or silly. It is sitting down together, at your pace, and sorting the thing that has been bothering you, then showing you how, as many times as you like.
No jargon, no rushing, no lock-in. Nothing is too small to ask.
What a visit can cover
Whatever is causing trouble. A few of the common ones.
Your devices
Setting up and learning an iPad, computer or phone, so it does what you want without the worry.
Staying in touch
Email, messages, video calls with family, and photos, set up and explained simply.
TV, WiFi and printers
The everyday things, streaming, the home WiFi, the printer, made to just work.
Scam safety
How to spot the dodgy message or call, how to check before you click or pay, and what to do if you are unsure.
Staying safe from scams
Confidence, not fear. A few simple habits go a long way.
Pause before you act
Real organisations do not rush you. A message that says act now is a reason to slow down and check.
Check, do not click
Look the company up yourself and call the number you already have, rather than the one in the message.
Ask someone you trust
When in doubt, ask family or us. There is no such thing as a silly question with money or accounts.
