As technology continues to evolve, the importance of robust digital solutions in long-term care facilities has become increasingly evident. At Canquest, we are dedicated to providing reliable, high-speed internet and cost-effective phone services to long-term care facilities and senior living residences across Southwestern Ontario, ensuring residents stay connected with their loved ones and engaged with the world around them. With over 30 years of experience in providing residential, commercial, and government telecommunication solutions across the region, Canquest brings a wealth of expertise and commitment to enhancing the quality of life in these settings.
Digital connectivity is crucial in long-term care settings, enhancing residents’ quality of life by enabling them to maintain relationships, access information, and participate in digital activities. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the significance of internet connectivity, as many long-term care facilities relied on virtual communication to keep residents connected with family and friends.
According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association (JAMDA), social isolation and loneliness among long-term care residents increased significantly during the pandemic, with severe implications for their mental and emotional well-being. The study emphasized the need for improved digital solutions to foster connections and reduce isolation.
There is a prevailing societal misconception that older populations do not need to stay connected or are incapable of using modern technology. This mindset often leads to long-term care residents being forgotten and overlooked when it comes to digital inclusion. However, residents in these facilities are more than capable of using a variety of technologies, and more effectively, with reliable internet services. They, like everyone else, benefit immensely from staying connected, whether it’s through video calls with family, accessing online health resources, or engaging in digital entertainment. It’s essential to recognize and address this misconception to ensure older adults are not left behind in the digital age.
At Canquest, we recognize the unique needs of long-term care and senior living residences and are committed to providing the best possible internet solutions to support these environments. Our high-speed internet services ensure that digital applications run smoothly, offering a reliable connection for all online activities.
We work closely with long-term care facilities to understand their specific requirements and provide tailored internet connectivity solutions. Our goal is to ensure that every resident has the opportunity to experience the benefits of digital connectivity, from maintaining social connections to accessing vital information.
For long-term care facilities already equipped with internet services, Canquest offers specialized phone line solutions. Consider a facility with 100 rooms where residents frequently move in and out. Maintaining cost-effective and reliable phone service is essential, and with seamless customer porting of existing phone numbers, this ensures reliable connection with friends and family. Canquest can offer these phone services at a cost reduction of at least 50%.
Several long-term care facilities in Chatham-Kent county have successfully integrated Canquest’s internet and phone services, resulting in improved resident satisfaction and engagement.
As we look to the future, the role of digital connectivity in long-term care will continue to grow. Innovations in technology will offer even more opportunities for residents to stay connected, engaged, and informed. At Canquest, we are committed to staying at the forefront of these advancements, continually enhancing our services to meet the evolving needs of long-term care facilities.
In conclusion, digital connectivity and reliable phone services play a vital role in improving the quality of life for your customers. With Canquest’s reliable internet connectivity and phone solutions, we can ensure your residents remain connected and engaged, no matter the circumstances, fostering a sense of community and well-being.
