Senior centers across the country are deploying a wide range of telehealth and mHealth technologies to keep their residents active and engaged.
One such example is Front Porch, a Glendale, Calif based non-profit comprising 10 full-service retirement communities in southern California and two adult living facilities, one in Louisiana and one in Florida. Through the Front Porch Center for WellBeing, the agency has been using wearables, telehealth platforms, computer-aided “exergames” and even a robotic seal called PARO to promote physical and mental well-being.
“It does an amazing world of difference in our operations and in the general caregiving environment,” says Davis Park, FPCIW’s director. We’re making meaningful connections.
