When people think about older adults and technology, outdated ideas often surface—like resistance or a lack of understanding. But today’s reality tells a different story. Many aging adults are not only using technology but are also actively looking for digital tools that make their lives easier, more connected, and more engaging.
Technology use among older adults continues to grow. According to a 2024 national AARP survey, 66 percent of respondents said technology improves their lives by helping with everyday tasks and building social connections. From video calls to health apps, older adults are quickly becoming fluent in the digital world—and they expect their communities to keep up.
At The Madison Senior Living, we know that staying connected is about more than Internet access. It is about providing simple, helpful tools that truly improve day-to-day living.
That is where the Arrow App comes in. With just a few taps, residents can view menus, browse event calendars, read updates, check wellness resources, and message staff directly.
The Arrow App has made a noticeable difference in how residents stay informed and engaged. One of the most valued features is the news section, which keeps residents updated on everything happening in the community. This easy access to real-time updates has led to increased participation in events and programs.
As we look ahead, the Arrow App sets the stage for what future residents will expect—full digital integration and instant access to information. By building these systems now, we are preparing The Madison to meet the expectations of the next generation with confidence, ease, and innovation.
The Arrow App is more than a helpful tool—it is a commitment. A commitment to better communication, greater resident empowerment, and a richer living experience. With technology as a partner, the future of senior living is not only bright—it is connected.
