When people think about older adults and technology, outdated stereotypes often come to mind—like resistance or an inability to understand it. But the current reality is far more optimistic. Many aging adults are not only open to technology, but they are actively embracing tools that make life easier, more connected, and engaging.
Technology use among older adults continues to rise. A 2024 national AARP survey revealed that 66 percent of respondents said technology enriches their lives by helping manage daily tasks and build connections. From video chats with family to health apps, older adults are becoming fluent in the digital language of convenience—and they expect their senior living communities to reflect this.
At The Township Senior Living, staying connected means more than just offering Wi-Fi. It means providing intuitive, practical tools that improve everyday life.
The Arrow App is a standout example. With just a few taps, residents can view daily menus, check the event calendar, access wellness resources, receive updates, and even contact staff directly.
The app has made a noticeable difference in our community. Residents no longer need to carry paper calendars to know what’s happening. With the dining menus and events tool available on their devices, planning their day is easier than ever.
Residents particularly enjoy using the maintenance request feature and the news feed. These functions keep them informed, help them track events, and ensure their needs are met quickly and efficiently. Feedback shows they are not only using the app regularly but also exploring new features with growing enthusiasm.
The Arrow App is not just a convenience—it is a forward-thinking investment. As the next generation transitions into senior living, they will arrive with even higher expectations for digital integration. By implementing technology now, we are preparing our community to meet those expectations with innovation, ease, and grace.
The Arrow App represents a commitment—a promise to improve communication, empower residents, and elevate the senior living experience. With technology as a partner, the future of senior living is not just bright—it’s connected.
