Visiting Ours

For Families With busy lifestyles and the cost of travel you may not be able to visit elderly relatives as often as you would like. Visiting Ours “virtually” eliminates the problem. You can see your loved one as often as you want. Total time commitment is just 25 minutes per visit. All you need is a computer with a webcam and microphone and a high-speed Internet connection. Visiting Ours does the rest.

For Institutions Visiting Ours offers you a powerful marketing advantage because families are more inclined to place loved ones where they can easily see them online.  Based on a six-month pilot program, this virtual family contact also appears to improve residents’ well-being and health outcomes.

For Youth Volunteer Organizations Visiting Ours strives to connect both families and generations. Youth from nearby high schools and church volunteer groups serve as on-site video-chat facilitators and receive use of notebook computers in return. Visiting Ours and its technology partners provide all training, equipment and background checks.

For Technology and Retail Partners Visiting Ours builds powerful brand loyalty and emotional connections among youth aides and participating families and drives demand for webcam-enabled devices and services.  Help Visiting Ours turn video-chatting with elderly relatives and friends into a habit.
