DJ Beverly Enterp Pilot Program Provides E-Mail For Elderly -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {I believe this is a terrific idea.} Dorine 22 Dec 10:54 FORT SMITH, Ark.--Beverly Enterprises Inc. (BEV) said it will provide e-mail to its elderly residents as part of a pilot program in 10 of its nursing homes in California and Arkansas. Residents at each of the homes will have access to a communal computer from Dell Computer Corp. (DELL). If the program is successful after two months, the nation's largest nursing home chain said it will expand the program to other homes and may purchase more Dell computers for residents to use. At a Gerontological Society of America conference last month, scientists provided anecdotal evidence that e-mail and Internet use can help nursing home residents overcome loneliness, boredom, helplessness and decline of mental skills. A program called LinkingAges, a 12-week course that teaches seniors how to use the Internet, has reported promising changes in residents' emotional states after they learned to navigate the Internet. - J.C.
