Outdated assumptions about older adults struggling with technology still linger, but today’s reality tells a different story. Many aging adults are embracing digital tools that make life more convenient, connected, and enjoyable.
According to a 2024 national AARP survey, 66 percent of older adults believe technology enhances their lives by helping manage tasks and stay in touch with loved ones. From video calls to health apps, many are fluent in the language of digital convenience—and expect their living environments to reflect that.
At Vitalia Stow, creating a connected experience means more than offering Wi-Fi—it means giving residents access to tools that improve their daily lives. The Arrow App is one of our most impactful resources. With just a few taps, residents can view daily menus, check events, see announcements, and reach out to staff.
The Arrow App TVs in shared spaces are a favorite. It’s common to see residents stepping off the elevator with a notepad, ready to jot down events or menu items for the day.
Residents especially value features like maintenance requests and department messaging. These tools offer convenience while giving residents more control over their environment.
Families benefit as well. Many sign up when their loved one moves in to stay informed about participation in events or important updates like podiatrist visits, flu clinics, or COVID-19 boosters. The app delivers these updates in real time, making communication simple and reliable.
The Arrow App is more than a digital tool—it’s a bridge. It builds stronger connections between residents, families, and staff while replacing outdated methods like flyers and bulletin boards.
As future generations enter senior living with higher expectations for digital access, communities like Vitalia Stow are ready. Investing in user-friendly technology today ensures we stay ahead of tomorrow’s needs.
With the Arrow App, the future of senior living is not just bright—it’s connected.
