With age comes a deeper love and appreciation for family and friends and the time spent in their company. At Broadmoor Court , we strive to keep our residents informed of convenient new ways to keep in touch with their loved ones. In the past, options were limited to phone calls, letters and prescheduled visits. If a friend or relative lived in a different time zone on the other side of the world, you were out of luck.
Fortunately, with the advent of mobile phone technology, several new apps geared toward making long-distance communication possible have been developed in recent years. One of the older social apps on the market, Skype offers face-to-face video chatting, phone calls and even instant messaging.
This Microsoft-owned app is largely free and available for download on both iPhones and Androids. With over 2 billion monthly users worldwide , Facebook is a social networking site that makes it easy to connect and share with family and friends. Founded in February by a handful of Harvard students, it has since grown to become one of the most well-known, successful social apps to date.
While it was originally designed specifically for college students, this changed in when the company allowed anyone over the age of 13 with a valid email address to create a profile. The app lets you send messages, post status updates and share other types of content such as photos, videos and links.
For many, having a Facebook profile is as commonplace as having an email account. This means you can use your Facebook account to sign in to various other sites and services across the web.
