About SageSource Technology Services
What is it…
A virtual place to find knowledge, wisdom, activities, people, services, businesses, products or services with the help of your neighbors, friends, and people like you.
Say you’re looking for a tip on sharing pictures with family and friends who are far away. SageSource lets you see collective knowledge and wisdom from your community when you need it. You can see “how to’s”, “neighborhood activities”, “local recommendations” and much much more. If you can’t find one, you can ask your local community for an answer through SageSource.
In turn, you can make your own recommendations and respond to others in need.
Why we’re doing this…
Social isolation among seniors, commonly referred to as “senior isolation,” occurs when an older adult has such limited social ties that there are few places to turn for help or for social support when the need arises. Moreover, this trend is expected to worsen in the coming decades as a demographic surge in the elderly population takes hold. As a group, baby-boomers harbor even more risk factors for senior isolation than the current generation of seniors; as such, a formula for disaster exists that will require a unique solution for local communities to help themselves.
When can I use it…
We designed and will soon pilot the first community powered helpdesk for seniors…connecting a senior at point of need to the best local resources.
Its not quite ready…so come back soon. Email us at info@sagesource.org for more information.
