When people think about older adults and technology, outdated stereotypes often still come to mind—like resistance or a complete inability to understand it. But today’s reality tells a different story. Many aging adults are not only embracing technology but actively seeking tools that make life easier, more connected, and more engaging.
Technology use among older adults is steadily on the rise. A 2024 national AARP survey revealed that 66 percent of respondents said technology enriches their lives by helping them manage daily tasks and create connections. From video chats with loved ones to health monitoring apps, older people are becoming fluent in the digital language of convenience. They also expect their living environment to keep up.
At the Cambridge Senior Living, staying connected is about more than just Internet access. It means offering real, user-friendly tools that improve daily life. The Arrow App is a great example. With just a few taps, residents can view menus, calendars, wellness resources, and updates—or communicate directly with staff.
The Arrow App has significantly enhanced our community. Residents stay informed about daily events, easily browse current and upcoming menus, and connect with one another through the built-in messenger chat.
The most valuable features include quick access to dining menus and the option to sign up for event reminders. These tools help residents stay engaged and organized without the need for printed handouts or bulletin boards.
Family members have also noticed the benefits. They appreciate being able to remind their loved ones about events they know they’ll enjoy. This shared access supports deeper involvement, more conversation, and stronger connections between families and residents.
Beyond its current features, the Arrow App helps prepare our communities for the future. As the next generation moves into senior living, they will bring even greater expectations for digital access and smart tools. By building tech-savvy systems now, we are ready to meet those expectations with ease, innovation, and grace.
The Arrow App is more than a convenience—it is a commitment. It bridges communication gaps, empowers residents, and enhances the overall living experience. With technology as a trusted partner, the future of senior living is not just bright—it is connected.
