Powering Smart Senior Living Communities
Founded in 2013, K4Connect is the leading provider of enterprise connected-life technologies for senior living communities, currently serving thousands of residents at over 800 premier continuing care, independent living, and assisted living communities across the nation. The challenges brought on by COVID-19 have had far-reaching implications for senior living, but have magnified opportunities where technology can have an immediate and long-lasting impact on the daily lives of residents and working environments for community staff. K4Connect brings cutting-edge enterprise technologies to this industry, which innovation has long ignored. The company tailors a variety of technologies to benefit the residents, staff, and resident families of senior living communities through its flagship solution, K4Community.
K4 Community
K4Community is built upon K4Connect’s patented operating system, FusionOS, an advanced multi-modal edge-cloud architecture, and the only of its kind in the senior living industry. A comprehensive suite of solutions integrating the best in technology, K4Community enhances daily life for residents, augments the workday for staff, and enables community operators to operate more efficient and data-driven businesses.
Residents stay connected to each other and their families through digital communications (e.g., voice, video, messaging), informed on the latest community news (e.g., COVID-19 updates, visitation policies, daily menus), engaged and stimulated during quarantine (e.g., content, virtual engagement, voice-first experiences) and more independent through features such as home automation and Resident Check-in.
