When people think about older adults and technology, outdated stereotypes often still come to mind—such as resistance or an inability to understand it.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 continues to grow. 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 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 pace.
At The Boulevard Senior Living of Wentzville, staying connected means more than providing Internet access. It involves offering real, user-friendly tools that enhance daily life. The Arrow App is a prime example. With just a few taps, residents can view menus, calendars, updates, wellness resources, and even message staff directly.
The Arrow App has become essential in our community, improving connection, convenience, and engagement for both residents and families. It strengthens the overall sense of belonging by making information more accessible and communication more seamless.
Residents frequently mention the features they find most valuable. Viewing the daily menu is a favorite—they enjoy seeing the specials in advance and planning meals around their preferences. The resident directory is another popular tool. It helps neighbors connect through calls or messages and is especially helpful when welcoming new residents.
Residents also appreciate browsing daily events, birthdays, and news all in one place. It helps them feel organized and more involved in community life.
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Residents say the app helps them feel more connected and informed. Families appreciate the added insight into their loved one’s daily experience. One resident shared, “I love waking up and checking the app with my coffee—it tells me what’s for lunch, who’s celebrating a birthday, and if there are any announcements I need to know.”
Beyond today’s features, the Arrow App sets the stage for the future. As the next generation enters senior living, they’ll bring even higher expectations for digital tools. By creating tech-savvy systems now, we are preparing to meet those expectations with innovation, ease, and grace.
The Arrow App is more than a convenience—it’s a commitment. It bridges communication gaps, empowers residents, and enhances the senior living experience. With technology as a trusted partner, the future is not only bright—it is fully connected.
