When people think about older adults and technology, outdated stereotypes still persist—like the idea that seniors resist or struggle to understand new tech. However, today’s reality paints a different picture. Many aging adults are actively embracing digital tools that help make life easier, more connected, and more fulfilling.
Technology use among older adults continues to grow. A 2024 national AARP survey revealed that 66 percent of respondents said technology enriches their lives by helping manage everyday tasks and fostering stronger connections. From video chats to health apps, older adults are becoming fluent in the digital language of convenience—and they expect their communities to support this shift.
At Mallard Point Senior Living, we know that staying connected means more than simply offering Wi-Fi. It requires tools that are intuitive, relevant, and truly beneficial. That is why the Arrow App is such a valuable part of our community. With just a few taps, residents can explore daily menus, check the event calendar, view community updates, and communicate directly with staff.
One of the most appreciated features is the ability to submit maintenance requests directly from the app. Residents also value the real-time visitor notifications, which alert them when a guest checks in at the front desk. These tools offer increased convenience, added security, and greater peace of mind.
Feedback from residents and families has been overwhelmingly positive. Many have noted how seamless the app is to use and how helpful it has been in keeping them informed and connected. Whether planning meals or staying updated on events, the app supports independence and engagement every day.
The Arrow App is also preparing Mallard Point for what lies ahead. As future generations transition into senior living, they will bring higher expectations for technology and digital accessibility. By building strong tech systems now, our community is ready to meet those expectations with ease and innovation.
The Arrow App is not just a convenience—it is a promise. A promise to connect residents more fully with their community, empower families to stay engaged, and enhance the overall living experience.
