Computer support for seniors

Call That Girl enjoys helping the seniors with their computer issues, bet you didn’t know that did you? We have even been referred a few because working with seniors, sometimes takes a special touch. A regular geek sometimes misses the mark with these folks, such as:

  • Talking in non-geek terms
  • Understanding that the seniors need to take notes
  • Understand that patience is key for some
  • They also cannot carry heavy items such as computers

Call That Girl has solutions for all of the above, not only are we “software specialists” we are “people specialists” and know hard to read each client to give them the best support possible.

Our favorite method of support (Internet remote-in) works exceptionally well with the seniors and if they need to bring in the computer to our shop dues to crashes, viruses, etc…we have contracted with http://www.bontime.com to pick up and deliver the machines. No heavy lifting!
