Empowering Aging with Tech

Older Adults and the Digital Shift

Outdated assumptions still suggest older adults struggle with technology. Yet the truth today is far different. Many aging adults are not only open to new tech—they actively seek out digital tools that make life more convenient, connected, and fulfilling.

Technology use among seniors continues to rise. A 2024 national AARP survey found that 66 percent of older adults said technology enhances their lives by helping manage tasks and maintain connections. From video calls to health apps, seniors are becoming fluent in digital convenience—and expect their communities to keep pace.

At The Westbury Senior Living, staying connected means more than offering Internet access. It means delivering real, user-friendly tools that enhance everyday experiences. The Arrow App does just that. With a few taps, residents can explore menus, event calendars, community updates, wellness resources, and message staff directly.

Simple Tools, Big Impact

The Arrow App has streamlined communication across our community. Residents can now stay informed about daily menu specials and upcoming events with ease.

Popular features include submitting maintenance requests and browsing dining options. These tools support independence while keeping residents engaged with what matters most to them.

Feedback from residents and families has been overwhelmingly positive. The chat feature lets residents connect with each other, while families enjoy seeing which events their loved ones attend. This visibility fosters stronger bonds and offers peace of mind.

The Arrow App is more than just a convenience—it is a promise. A promise to close communication gaps, support independence, and elevate the senior living experience. As future generations arrive with higher digital expectations, The Westbury is already prepared—with innovation, intention, and care.
