Capital Senior Living Introduces Virtual Engagement Program Across Its Communities During National Assisted Living Week
September 18 2020 - 8:00AM
Capital Senior Living, one of the nation’s largest operators of
senior living communities, announced today the launch of its
Virtual Engagement Program (VEP), designed to facilitate even
greater communication for its residents.
Under the program, the Company will distribute tablets across
its communities, leveraging the benefits technology brings in
fostering communications between residents and their families. The
program was introduced in time to honor National Assisted Living
Week®, which takes place September 13-19, 2020.
Established by the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) in
1995, National Assisted Living Week provides an opportunity for
residents, their loved ones, staff, volunteers and surrounding
communities to recognize the role of assisted living in caring
for America’s seniors and individuals with disabilities. The annual
observance encourages assisted living communities nationwide to
offer a variety of events and activities to celebrate the
individuals they serve, as well as to help educate members of the
public about this distinctive aspect.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Capital Senior Living has
been helping residents virtually engage with their families
leveraging existing technology, while also facilitating virtual
tours and meetings with potential residents and family members.
Given the success of these interactions, the Company developed its
new VEP program, which includes conducting scheduled virtual
meeting times with families, live-streaming of certain community
events and the ability to showcase communities to future residents.
To further enhance the program and ensure additional access to key
technology, Capital Senior Living determined that dispersing
tablets for National Assisted Living week would be beneficial for
all constituents involved in assisted living at its communities as
they will further enhance communication, particularly at a time
when it residents need to remain socially distanced in the
community and from their loved ones.
“We could not think of a better way to honor our residents,
hard-working staff and communities than to help facilitate better
communication during COVID-19 and into the future. While we had
already been facilitating virtual communication between our
residents and their families as well as amongst potential future
residents, additional tablets will increase opportunities for our
residents to stay close to their loved ones. And, it helps our
staff ensure a connection for our residents,” said Brandon Ribar,
chief operating officer at Capital Senior Living.
The tablets will be distributed to communities over the coming
weeks.
