Staying Connected with Mom: How Technology Bridges the Gap on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a special occasion to show appreciation for the amazing women in our lives. But when you can’t be there in person, technology can help bridge the gap and keep everyone connected.

1. Video Calls and Smart Devices

A simple video call can make a world of difference, especially for those loved ones that live out of town and only see mom a few times per year. Devices like smart displays or tablets make it easy for seniors to join calls with just a tap. This Mother’s Day, a virtual visit can bring smiles and laughter, helping families feel closer despite the distance.

2. Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS)

Beyond daily communication, these devices offer peace of mind for children. Knowing that Mom has a safety net and can get help at the press of a button for any falls or medical emergencies makes it easier for everyone to relax and enjoy the day. It’s not just about emergencies though—it’s about giving families confidence that their loved ones are safe when no one is around.

3. Smart Home Technology

Smart home devices can help seniors with daily tasks and keep family members informed. From smart doorbells to medication reminders, these tools can make everyday life easier and more connected. Smart doorbells specifically have several uses such as letting children know who is stopping by to see their loved one to potentially prevent someone from taking advantage of them to alerting them if their loved one experiences memory issues and goes outside at odd hours or wanders.

4. A Gift That Keeps on Giving

Consider giving a tech-based gift that not only delights but also brings comfort and security. Whether it’s a personal emergency device or a smart home gadget, these gifts show that you care about Mom’s well-being all year long and help her feel closer to the whole family.
