When people think about older adults and technology, outdated stereotypes often still come to mind—such as resistance or a complete inability to understand it.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 manage daily tasks and create connections. From video chats with loved ones to health-monitoring apps, older adults are becoming fluent in the digital language of convenience. They now expect their living environment to keep up.
At Curtis Creek Senior Living, staying connected means more than just offering Internet access. It involves creating user-friendly tools that improve daily life. The Arrow App is a shining example. With just a few taps, residents can access daily menus, event calendars, wellness resources, community updates, and direct communication with staff.
The Arrow App is beginning to make a real impact as residents explore and become familiar with its features. Among the most valued tools are the maintenance request function and the event schedule. These features help residents stay informed, organized, and engaged in community life.
As more residents and families explore the app, I look forward to hearing their feedback. This input helps us continue improving the user experience and making the technology even more useful.
Beyond its current features, the Arrow App sets our communities up for the future. As the next generation transitions into senior living, they will bring even greater expectations for digital integration. By investing in smart systems now, we are prepared to meet those expectations with ease, innovation, and grace.
The Arrow App is more than a convenience—it is a commitment. A commitment to bridging communication gaps, empowering residents, and enriching the overall living experience. With technology as a partner, the future of senior living is not just bright—it is connected.
