My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
In recent times, we've witnessed the emergence of heartwarming initiatives within senior living communities, where high school students form clubs dedicated to assisting seniors with their personal technology. These clubs, initiated by compassionate young individuals, have garnered praise for their admirable intentions and community-driven spirit. Many of these students are motivated by personal connections with grandparents and aspire to make a positive impact on the lives of seniors residing in these communities. Undoubtedly, their dedication and commitment to giving back to the community are commendable qualities that we should all applaud.
However, while these student-led clubs embody the spirit of altruism and community service, the reality is that sustaining their efforts over the long term can be challenging. Initially, these clubs burst with enthusiasm, with a substantial number of high school students actively participating. However, as weeks turn into months, the initial fervor often wanes. Several students begin to drift away, finding new interests that gradually consume their Saturdays. What typically starts with a robust group of 20 students may dwindle to just a handful after a couple of months. Promises of continued engagement with senior residents are sometimes left unfulfilled.
Mary J., a resident of one such community, shared her observations: "While there are one or two students who remain consistent and dedicated, many tend to disappear after a few weeks. Even those who still attend often arrive late, and some appear less committed, spending their time outside on their phones, counting down the hours until their commitment ends. I understand that these are kids, and they have their priorities, but the initial enthusiasm doesn't have a lasting impact."
Harvey S. added, "These students have good intentions, but their support isn't a sustainable solution for residents seeking reliable technology assistance. While they possess knowledge and can be helpful, it's challenging to build on their sporadic presence."
Shannon R. humorously recounted her experience: "The students are eager to share their interests, like TikTok, which is entertaining. However, many of us are more interested in practical skills like texting and sharing family photos. When I asked about texting, one young lady suggested Instagram DMs, thinking it would be 'cooler.' But, my dear, at my age, I don't need 'cooler'—I just want to connect with family."
At GroovyTek, we understand that technology support for seniors in senior living communities is a critical need that demands reliable, consistent, and professional solutions. Relying on an unpredictable and intermittent support system can leave residents feeling unsupported and hinder their efforts to embrace technology fully.
That's why GroovyTek has committed to working closely with Senior Living Communities by offering the GroovyTek Help Desk service. With GroovyTek on campus, residents can benefit from a dependable, professional, and experienced technology support service, ensuring their personal technology needs are met consistently.
If your community lacks a reliable and professional technology support solution like GroovyTek, we encourage you to reach out to us. Let's discuss how the GroovyTek Help Desk can provide your residents with the support they deserve, empowering them to confidently integrate technology into their daily lives. Together, we can bridge the digital divide and ensure that technology truly enhances the lives of seniors in your community.

A wonderful service in every aspect from calling in to set up an appointment with GroovyTek and follow ups as well as the fabulous help, patience and expertise of the tech who came to the house to work with me with my computer issues. I would highly recommend GrooveyTek for all your computer needs! Thanks so much!
GroovyTek did a great job! My trainer was on time, professional and she solved my slow computer. Great job, GroovyTek! I will use your services again.
Today was my first experience with GroovyTek and it was extraordinary. I learned so much over the course of the hour AND as importantly fixed the problem I was having. The trainer was intelligent and friendly. All support was given in a very collaborative way. I am looking forward to this partnership.
Dear GroovyTek team, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this very supportive and beneficial service you provide! I am so grateful!
My tech is patiently bringing me (at age 79) into the computer age. I am so glad that I found him through GroovyTek. What a wonderful gift!
I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.
I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
I have been very pleased with the IT trainers from GroovyTek who have been to my house. They were very helpful!
Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!
