More about the DirecTV Upgrade System

Nursing home residents may come from a home where they previously had access to certain channels they really liked -- say, HGTV, for example. Upon moving into your facility, they might discover that you don't carry HGTV as one of your nursing home's available channels. Normally, this might be cause for disappointment, but not with the bulk DirecTV Upgrade System.

When you come to Aufderworld for your bulk DirecTV needs, you never have to say "no" to one of your residents again. Does someone new to your nursing home want HGTV added to their lineup? You can use the DirecTV Upgrade System to add it for them. And, if the channel is part of a package you're already offering those in your facility, it won't cost you anything more.

And, of course, since Aufderworld utilizes DirecTV as the backbone for its bulk TV service, your residents can have the same DirecTV interface they might already be familiar with, along with custom channels tailored to your nursing home.

DirecTV for Nursing Homes

Moving into a nursing home is a big adjustment for older adults. After all, they're often leaving a full home with all the privacy and amenities and into an assisted living facility that they share with many other residents. If you run such a nursing home, one of the ways you can attract a higher level of occupancy is to help ease the transition.

It's pretty likely that some of the older adults moving into your facility enjoy a television show or two. By offering a bulk DirecTV service for your nursing home, you can give these older nursing home residents access to the channels and shows they love while offering other features, such as custom community channels, music channels, and more.

Improving Senior Quality of Life

Place yourself in the shoes of an older adult who, after living independently in a home for a number of years, is now moving into a nursing home. It's very likely that you had a routine in your home and out of it; activities you enjoyed, and TV shows you liked watching. Moving to an assisted living facility shouldn't have to mean that you have to give up the things you enjoy, right?

While we can't help with other activities, one way we can help make the transition a bit better for older adults is to provide them with the same entertainment they had access to at home. By providing bulk DirecTV for nursing homes, Aufderworld can help these nursing homes offer cost-effective television options to their residents.

Best TVs for Seniors

When you run a nursing home, you have more to worry about than just providing your residents with a great bulk cable TV service; you also have to make sure the TV you have installed in each older adult's room is easy to use. Here are a few things to look for in a TV for a resident of your nursing home.

Crisp, clear picture.
It's important that the picture on the TV is as easy to view as possible for those who might have bad eyesight. You also want a TV that puts off a good amount of brightness.

Threat of burn-in.
If you're concerned about older adults falling asleep with a still image on the screen, you might want to select a TV where burn-in isn't possible, such as an LCD or LED TV.

Size.
The bigger, the better. Now that TVs can be wall-mounted, you can purchase a larger TV for a nursing home resident's room and not worry about having it take up a large amount of floor space.

Bulk Cable TV Services and Nursing Home Community Channels

If you've ever flipped through a cable TV lineup, it's possible that you might have come across a community information channel. This channel can present information for a number of different topics of interest, such as weather, local events, birthdays, and more. Now, imagine how useful such a channel would be to the residents in a nursing home. You could publicize activities, like arts & crafts or bingo, you could make sure everyone's birthday is recognized, and you could keep them informed on the latest news about the facility.

With Aufderworld's bulk cable TV for nursing homes, this is completely possible. Aufderworld provides customers with the ability to create a community channel that can pull in and display information from a number of different places. Such a channel can keep your nursing home residents in the loop and help them become more involved in the community.
