“When we rolled out technology about 4-1/2 years ago, we had residents who said they hadn’t needed it for 60 years and had no use for it. Those are some of the same residents who would say they can’t live without it now. We have one resident who goes to the Verizon store to keep up-to-date on technology and he bills his kids’ account!” ~Scott Buchanan, CEO, Ohio Masonic Home   Sponsored BySerenity Engage supports senior living communities during COVID-19 lockdowns with HIPAA-compliant messaging for care teams to communicate with family members.
