Technology help for older adults and families

Patient tech help for you or someone you love.

A printer that will not print. An email account that feels confusing. A new computer that needs setting up. You can get local help without having to know the technical terms.

Work directly with Dustin Decker, a U.S. Army veteran and the owner of Decker Tech Services in Highland, Illinois. Choose remote support when suitable or a scheduled home visit.

Start with a free 15-minute phone consultation. We discuss the problem and agree on the scope and price before paid work begins. Diagnostics and repairs are paid services.

Help with the things you use every day.

Phones, email & Wi-Fi

Questions before you call?

Do I need to know what is wrong?

No. Describe what you are trying to do and what happens instead. We can talk through the next step together.

Can you help if I am not comfortable with computers?

Yes. DTS offers patient guidance with everyday devices, email, printing and account settings. You can ask questions at your own pace.

Can a family member arrange help?

Yes. A family member can contact DTS to discuss support. Your loved one's permission is needed before accessing their device or sharing account information.

Will you need remote access to my computer?

Some issues can be handled with guidance alone. When remote access is suitable, we explain its purpose and use it only with your approval.

What does the free consultation include?

Up to 15 minutes by phone to discuss the problem and recommend a next step. Diagnostics, repairs, account recovery and full safety reviews are paid services.
