When people think about older adults and technology, outdated stereotypes often still come to mind—such as resistance or a complete inability to understand it.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 build connections. From video chats with loved ones to health-monitoring apps, older adults are becoming increasingly fluent in the digital language of convenience. They now expect their living environment to reflect that.
At The Fremont Senior Living, staying connected means more than just offering Internet access. It’s about creating easy-to-use tools that improve daily life. The Arrow App is a perfect example. With just a few taps, residents can access daily menus, event calendars, wellness resources, community updates, and communicate directly with staff.
The Arrow App continues to make a positive impact in our community. It helps residents stay informed about daily happenings with timely updates that support engagement and connection. Among the most appreciated features are the ability to submit maintenance requests and sign up for events directly from a mobile device.
While we have not received formal feedback yet, we know residents and family members are actively using the app. Their continued use indicates that the features are serving their purpose and enhancing the overall experience.
Beyond today’s benefits, the Arrow App prepares our communities for what comes next. As a new generation enters senior living, they will bring even greater expectations for digital integration. By building smart, tech-forward systems now, we are prepared to meet those expectations with innovation, ease, and grace.
The Arrow App is more than a convenience—it is a commitment. A commitment to bridge communication gaps, empower residents, and enhance the overall living experience. With technology as a partner, the future of senior living is not just bright—it’s connected.
