Want to make life a little easier for Grandma or Grandpa? Help them harness the magic of voice assistants—like Alexa, Siri, or Google. These handy helpers remind your loved one to take their medication, drink water, or call family, all through simple voice commands.
- Start by setting up their device together.
- Pick a wake word that’s easy to remember (“Alexa” or “Hey Google”).
- Adjust the volume to match their hearing.
- Demonstrate basic commands like, “Remind me to take my pill at 9 AM,” or “Call my daughter”.
- Stick to 3–5 core commands at first, like reminders, making calls, and playing music. Keeping things simple ensures success and independence.
- Practice together. Test runs build confidence and comfort.
- Don’t forget to safeguard their privacy by strengthening passwords and enabling security updates.
With help setting up, you can give loved ones who may be less tech-savvy a personal assistant—and peace of mind—right in their living room. You’ll soon see the joy that comes from effortless reminders and phone calls, all without confusing screens or tiny buttons.
