Community Program Subject: a proposal to create a new senior citizen theme program to enhance and develop in Internet skills to allow them to help themselves with their health benefits and knowledge. The purpose: I am writing this letter to propose a solution to the neglect of senior citizens with the digital technology. What this new program we will be able to allow senior citizens to be educated on computer use and digital use of technology. This will allow them freedom to know how to use the internet properly and how to access healthcare providers using the Internet. Some sentences are well equipped with using the Internet and computers. I like that we use some of our own senior citizens that they are comfortable with using the internet to teach the other senior citizens with less confidence how to use it. This is beneficial on a health tip because as I will see you soon and get older they feel as if they have less freedom to do things and things are too complicated for them to learn now. However, by teaching them how to use the Internet and computers this opens up a nether door for I retired senior citizens and for some of our senior citizens without families this will give they time to spend with other senior citizens and learning new skills. Which of this program computer classes for senior citizens offering dramatic stimulation and relative technology education? Other seniors will tell classes so it will be on a related basis computer classes for senior citizens range from very simple intermediate to advanced training course. These things will improve their day-to-day computer skills. For example, some of the classes will consist of computer fundamentals. Those who have a more advanced R or more skilled than others can take Excel and Word courses to help them with spreadsheets is just as simple as making a grocery list or medicine sheet. Things like this will help them gain their independence. In today's technology world it does not stop at age so being 65 plus years old. This allows senior to have device and not understand how to use them. have these classes will allow the to know how use iTunes or apps . Also set up these class that will allow them to learn how to use their mobile devices that that kids on their relatives may have purchased for them for their own purposes. Now we will not just stop there things like internet and e-mail courses will be also offers to them so then I may be able to look into the health records via email. The digital world is taking over it is important that you senior citizens in my community know and not be afraid or frustrated with using computers. Computers can help them further their shell and find new designs to do things.
Also implement that there will be mobile classes for those who are in nursing homes are not able to get out of the home this will allow them to have the knowledge of using the computer this will be set up on a appointment basis only. A lot of our senior citizens are not able to always healthy enough to leave the house this will allow them to still have the freedom to learn how to use the computer correctly. This in this program is important to me because in Harris County we have the highest number of senior citizens in the state of Texas. According to the 2010 censuses statistics 8.1 percent oh Harris county population are 65 years and older. Many of these seven sins have disabilities and dependent caregivers with this new program implemented into the community it will give the 65 years and older adult learning experience to help them continue in daily life. Enhancing their ability to have and share knowledge and wisdom that they have about computers to other seniors. the cultural demographics in my community is very diverse not just having one culture in the area will Caucasian Hispanics Latinos Asians and African Americans the ratio to male to female in my community in the 65 + year range has an estimate of males 43 percent are 65 years or older which female dominate them by having 57% this program will cater to every gender and always is the same. The local health market is now computerized and this is a frustration for the 65 + year old adults that are still able to control some of their health care issues. Now is that there are some caregivers with in this industry that is 65 + years are unsure of how the proper way to use internet computers to access the proper things that may benefit the patient. In this community, there are a lot of health need, which need to be met, and depression in elderly people. I feel having these classes will give them a chance to interact with other people and continue to meet new people that have common boundaries and issues at the same as they do. What the new computers that we will purchase for the teachers to have a lot of them have capabilities to not have to be typed on but can speak broken into which allows the people that attend the class to also use them. In the elderly community arthritis is another common disease that affects the community having a computer, which they can speak into, allows them to search for things a lot of them to give a computer command this is still a form of using the computer, which will allow them to interact with the Internet and other social things.
