Technology may have pervaded every part of life in the 21st cen- tury, but it wasn't so long ago that phones were still attached to walls and people had to watch their fa- vorite shows and fi lms exclusively on televisions instead of having the option to watch them on devic- es like smartphones and tablets. The transition to life in the age of technology went smoothly for most segments of the population, but some aging adults have had a more diffi cult time making the adjustment. That diffi culty was ap- parent throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, when public health agencies like the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged aging adults to limit inter- actions with people outside their homes. Such recommendations forced many seniors to communi- cate with their families exclusively over the phone or via video confer- encing apps like Zoom. If seniors have had a hard time adapting to technology, their families can try these strategies to make that transition go more smoothly. • Go over product manuals with seniors. The senior caregiving ex- perts at Home Care Assistance note that older adults are less like- ly to learn through exper- imentation than they are by reading instructions in the manual. When help- ing seniors learn to use new devices, go over the owner's manual with them as you set up the device. Mark important pages in the manual so seniors know where to go for quick answers if they experience any is- sues logging in or using certain apps. • Look for senior-specifi c de- vices and guidebooks. Seniors make up an enormous segment of the population, and tech com- panies have long since recognized that there's a market for products designed specifi cally for aging men and women. When shopping for devices for seniors, look for those that have been designed to help them overcome issues that have proven problematic for ag- ing adults in the past. Devices that feature touchscreens with large menus, easily accessible naviga- tion tools and simplifi ed features can help seniors as they learn to use new technology. • Be patient. Some seniors are excited by the prospect of learn- ing to use new technology, while others may be hesitant. Patience is essential when working with an aging loved one who's intimidated by technology. Take the time to ex- plain apps and features and don't take it for granted that seniors will know how to use a device or rec- ognize what a device can do. Today's seniors may not have grown up with technology at their fi ngertips, but they can still learn to use devices to their advantage. The Cleveland County Public Health Center has received notification from the NC Department of Health Human Services that we are likely to ex- perience delays in ship- ments and deliveries of COVID-19 vaccine due to severe weather across the country. As a result, they de- cided to reschedule this week's second dose COVID-19 vaccine clinic, scheduled for Tuesday, February 23 at the Cleve- land County Fairgrounds, to Thursday, February 25 at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. Patients who were scheduled to receive their vaccine on Tuesday should report to the Fair- grounds on Thursday at the same time they were originally scheduled. Indi- viduals who were already scheduled to receive their second dose at the Fair- grounds on Thursday, February 25 should keep their appointment. "We are combining two clinics into one on Thursday to ensure we will have enough vac- cine in time to vaccinate everyone who is sched- uled to receive their sec- ond dose," said DeShay Oliver, Cleveland County Deputy Health Director. "Because both Tuesday's and Thursday's second dose clinics are smaller clinics, it will not be an issue to administer all of the vaccines in one day on Thursday. We do not anticipate this negatively impacting our process or patient wait times. We are trying to be proactive to help ensure we have re- ceived our vaccine in time for next week's clinics." This week's first dose clinic that would normally be scheduled on Wednes- day will be scheduled for Saturday, February 27 by appointment only to ensure we have received our vaccines on time.
