ConnectedLiving Launch at American House's Sterling Woods Community

On February 4th, ConnectedLiving launched at Sterling Woods, an American House senior living community.  More than 50 residents packed the dining room following dinner to learn about the brand new technology program arriving at their community.

ConnectedLiving is the senior living industry’s leading resident, family and staff engagement solution. ConnectedLiving is the first senior-focused technology program to help older adults get online in a fun, secure, easy and social way.  By combining senior-focused technology with the personal training and support to ensure adoption, ConnectedLiving is enriching the lives of seniors, their family members, and caregivers around the country.

The launch of ConnectedLiving at Sterling Woods began with a wonderful, warm welcome from Executive Director, Kellie Stafford. Ninety eight year old George Lacharite won a gift card for celebrating the most birthdays in the room. He was excited to see the new digital display sign in the lobby that included the day’s activities, weather and meals for the upcoming week.  Morale was high as resident Marilyn Blum spoke about her experience with technology and how beneficial this program will be for the residents at Sterling Woods.

While some residents "Got Connected" over appetizers and cake, others signed up for classes with trainer Caitlin Hogan and took turns sitting at the computer desk in the living room for a sneak peak of the ConnectedLiving Network! Resident Bob Pafenbach is looking most forward to having ConnectedLiving help him learn to Skype with his brother-in-law on the west coast.

ConnectedLiving is a company driven by social impact, and is committed to the idea that a connected life transforms the experience of aging.  The company currently serves more than 35,000 seniors in 300+ communities across 30 states from CCRCs to nursing homes.
