Topic Presentation: Improving Older Adults' Social Engagement via Community Organizations
Speaker:
Nima Roohi Sefidmazon, CEO & Co-Founder, Blooming Health
Description: Improving the social health of older adults has become an important topic in the past year. Given the breadth of supportive services and programs offered by community organizations, they are best positioned to improve older adults' social engagement. This presentation will cover communication tools and techniques for better connecting older adults with community organizations so we can help improve their social engagement. We will be sharing a case study with Union Settlement on Blooming Health's remote engagement solution. In addition, we will also share complimentary solutions that can be used alongside technology-based approaches.
