“These iPads are a great tool and open doors to a variety of ways older adults can engage with others in their community,” said Supervisor Katrina Foley, Second District. “Orange County has more than 600,000 seniors and providing the technology for our most vulnerable to stay connected while staying safe is a way to improve their quality of life.”

In addition, OC has contracted with a company called GetSetUp, an online learning environment for older adults to connect and share with peers in small intimate classes. Older adults may now apply to receive a free iPad, with a data plan included, as well as training to set-up the devices and access to an online subscription for virtual classes by calling the Orange County Office on Aging at 1-800-510-2020 or (714) 4806450; devices are limited.
