Daily Living Assistance
Any kind of support to perform daily activities is important for promoting independence and improving quality of life in old age. In the wake of the post-COVID-19 pandemic, The Economist Intelligence Unit, 2020 needs innovation in traditional support and assistance in care-home settings.
The worldwide epidemic has worsened current difficulties with offering adequate care for seniors, requiring the implementation of innovative solutions for successfully solving those difficulties. In addition, Baldissera (2019) promotes for the incorporation of personalised and technologically driven approaches to improve the standard and availability of support for daily life provided to seniors.
It is in this regard that carers can use advances in technology to provide personalised support that meets the specific needs and preferences of older adults to foster independence and well-being in general. The Economist Intelligence Unit, 2020, calls for innovative solutions for everyday support, especially in care homes, in a post-COVID-19 world.
