Remote Support Options
Quick Bursts of support by phone, text, or video.
What is it?
Remote support is a new option for people who need support with tasks but who do not need a supporter right beside them. You can customize your support, but here are a few ideas:
-
Med monitoring, reminders, safety check-ins,
-
Task prompts / checks, security checks,
-
Recipe / cooking support,
-
Activating smart devices, technology support,
-
Cab / ride arranging, activity planning,
-
Anything else you can think of.
Technology Needed
You will need access to either a land line phone, smart phone, or a computer. If you need financial support to afford your technology, consider using Passport funds. CLW also has a small technology fund for people we support who cannot afford technology on their own.
