How an Innovative Service Combines Technology for Seniors and In-Person Services to Enhance Life for Older Adults!

On this episode of the Age Better Resources podcast, Kathy Clinton speaks with Kelly Peterschmidt, the Founder and Executive Director at Porchlight Friends, about how her company’s approach to helping seniors adapt to new technology.

Technology for Seniors can provide tremendous benefits, but there is often resistance to using it. Porchlight Friends helps overcome this obstacle by combining in-person companion services with a simple to use technology platform. This innovative offering ensures older adults stay connected to family, friends, and community resources.

Kelly discusses the details of her program, who they serve, and how the combination of companion visits and Porchlight Health technology enhances lives. Kelly also discusses rewarding volunteer opportunities with her non-profit organization.
