Blakehurst in the News: Seniors Learn About Apple Watches from Girl Scouts

Girl Scouts teaching a group of Blakehurst seniors about Apple watches

As part of their journey to earn the prestigious Girl Scout Silver Award, local Girl Scouts have been sharing their technical know-how with residents in a series of intergenerational technology workshops. 2ABC came out for a recent session about how Apple Watches can help seniors stay connected, safe, and independent.

The interactive workshop covered:

    • Staying Safe & Healthy: Using fall detection and medication reminders
    • Adding a Personal Touch: Customizing watch faces to reflect their style
    • Making Life Easier: Enlarging text size for better readability
    • Peace of Mind: Setting up Emergency SOS features
  • Daily Convenience: Creating reminders and using Siri voice commands

The workshops are part of Blakehurst’s HealthyLife® Services program, which fosters holistic wellness with engaging classes, clubs, events, and activities.
