One elder who recently moved into a nursing home was concerned about keeping in touch with his previous community and reminisces about his neighbors with whom he use to regularly chat with.  He misses being in the immediate vicinity of his grandchildren and tending to his garden. He uses the nursing home computers to check his Facebook account, which he barely uses it except to periodically share pictures with his grandchildren or look at nursing home eventsthe nursing home's Facebook homepage to check for upcoming events.  He wishes that he could use Facebook to connect with his grandchildren, but the constantly changing functionality and numerous options are too confusing.

Lessons Learned:

  • wants to keep in touch with his old friends and family.
  • Facebook & other social media is too complicated/cryptic for everyday use.
