  • 1.  Any innovative adult day treatment options?

    Posted 03-23-2020 15:01
    Our providers are struggling with closed day treatment facilities due to COVID-19. Often, the day treatment for these adults is the only time they leave their home. Does anyone have an innovative way to provide that opportunity and still keep them safe? Thanks and stay healthy!

    Hi Mary, we are thinking Zoom (zoom.us) might be a good option - it combines video/audio, is affordable (free for many applications), and may provide the interaction you seek while maintaining safety.

    I've been using Zoom to do my telemedicine clinic for the last three years and I think it works great. The only limitation is whether or not the patient's/consumers will have connectivity and enough bandwidth to support it and the cognitive skills to use it
