Tech Assist For Seniors provides patient, in-home technology help for older adults and caregivers in Palmetto, FL and nearby areas of Manatee County. I work one-on-one with seniors to make everyday technology easier to understand and less frustrating to use.
If you or a loved one in Palmetto is feeling overwhelmed by phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, or online accounts, you are not alone.

Tech Assist For Seniors is a local, one-person business, so you always work directly with me, Sean, and know exactly who is coming to your home.
Common Tech Frustrations Seniors Face
Many seniors and caregivers in Palmetto and nearby areas tell me the same things. Technology often feels confusing, crowded, and hard to trust. Here are a few things I hear often during in-home visits:
- "I am afraid I will press the wrong button and break something."
- "There are too many passwords and I cannot keep track of them."
- "My phone, tablet, or smart TV keeps changing and I do not know what to do."
- "I get strange pop-ups and calls and I am not sure which ones are scams."
- "I do not want to bother my family every time I need help."

How I Can Help You at Home
My in-home visits are calm, patient, and focused on what you want to learn. I do not rush, and you can ask the same question as many times as you need.
I had a client in Palmetto who had not been able to video call her daughter in three months. Her tablet had been updated and the FaceTime app had moved. She had tried to find it on her own and eventually stopped trying. When I came to the house, we found it in about two minutes, walked through the steps a few times, and wrote them down on a notecard she keeps by the chair where she usually sits. She called her daughter that same afternoon.
That is what most visits look like. Not complicated repairs. Just finding what is wrong, fixing it, and making sure it does not happen again.

"My desktop would not connect to Wi Fi and I could not fix it. Sean came to my home, found the problem, and had it working again very quickly. His rates were fair and he was very friendly."
Verified Nextdoor review
I work one-on-one with seniors in their homes, not over the phone or through remote access. You always know who is coming, what we are working on, and when the visit is finished.
Many of my clients are referred by adult children, caregivers, neighbors, or senior communities who want calm, patient help they can trust.
I explain what I am doing before I change anything, write notes you can keep, and never rush through a visit. If something feels confusing, we slow down.
