When 96-year-old Irene needed an electronic tablet for telehealth visits, the Phoenix Housing Department provided it for free. However, many seniors in particular struggle not just with access to devices and internet connection, but how to use them.
Phoenix Housing staff can now assist with that as well.
Housing Manager Courtney Anderson told a city council subcommittee on Tuesday that when Housing staff asked Irene what she might want to do with her new device, she said she wanted to watch her favorite pastor’s sermons.
