Heads Above The Cloud
Charlotte, North Carolina-based Senior Living Communities announced
it has launched ConnectedLiving, a cloud-based social platform, at all
of its properties in South Carolina.
ConnectedLiving brings seniors, their families and community administrators together in a private online community. Residents can use the social platform to email, share pictures, video chat, shop and search the web. The technology also integrates social networking, distance learning, community menus and calendars, along with an extensive administrator dashboard to help get entire communities online and connected.
An added benefit to rolling out ConnectedLiving will be helping seniors gain new computer skills, which will also help keep residents active, says Katie Huffstetler, vice president of operations at Senior Living Communities.
“Older adults continue to have a growing technology presence,” says Huffstetler. “It keeps them active and connected with loved ones, near and far. Senior Living Communities is excited to partner with ConnectedLiving and their goal of bringing easy-to-use, secure technology to older adults.”
ConnectedLiving will be in the communities weekly to offer enrichment programming, computer learning and one-on-one support for residents.
The ConnectedLiving program is now available at Senior Living Communities in South Carolina, such as The Lakes at Litchfield in Pawleys Island; Brightwater in Myrtle Beach; Cascades Verdae in Greenville; and Summit Hills in Spartanburg.
The South Carolina properties represent four of Senior Living Communities’ nine residences nationwide.
