At Watercrest, we believe that keeping our residents meaningfully engaged is critical for their health and the overall well-being of our communities. Making use of the latest technologies and educational tools, Watercrest’s innovative programming encourages residents to pursue new interests, reignite old passions, and discover a renewed sense of excitement for lifelong learning.
At Watercrest Senior Living, technology is most meaningful when it strengthens human connection, supports our associates, and enhances the daily lives of our residents.
Our partnership with LifeLoop allows us to bring communication, engagement, and wellness resources together through one connected senior living platform.
Together, LifeLoop and iN2L give Watercrest communities enhanced tools to strengthen family communication, support resident wellness, personalize engagement, and create more opportunities for meaningful connection.
Technology does not replace the personal relationships at the heart of the Watercrest experience. It helps our associates make those relationships even stronger.
LifeLoop helps connect residents, families, and associates while making it easier to share information and manage daily life-enrichment experiences. Through the Family Portal and Connection Feed, families can stay connected to their loved ones through activity updates, event attendance, photos, and community news.
The platform also provides our associates with tools to coordinate programming, document participation, better understand resident interests, and identify engagement trends. These insights allow our teams to create more personalized opportunities for connection, purpose, and enjoyment.
iN2L—It’s Never 2 Late—is LifeLoop’s interactive content and engagement solution created specifically for older adults. Its extensive library includes thousands of wellness-focused experiences designed to educate, entertain, inspire, and encourage meaningful interaction.
Residents can enjoy music, games, fitness, lifelong learning, travel experiences, reminiscence activities, spiritual content, and more. Experiences can be customized around individual interests and adapted for a range of physical and cognitive abilities, supporting both group programming and meaningful one-on-one engagement.
SingFit’s products embody the beauty of music as a scientifically supported way to connect with seniors and encourage engagement for those with cognitive decline. The SingFit app utilizes a unique Lyric Prompting track for failure-free singing as well as music therapist designed protocols and online training to ensure successful sessions for a variety of clients with cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s, dementia, aphasia, and Parkinson’s disease.
Designed with extensive input from older adults, Joy for All launched the Companion Pet Cats in December 2015. The effects that these products were having on aging loved ones and their families was undeniable. Stories and testimonials from caregivers on the positive impact on isolation, loneliness, and all forms of cognitive decline continued to validate what the team had believed all along – that the power of play was relevant at all stages of life.
The Joy for All brand has earned many industry awards, validating the impact that these products were having on those living independently or in care communities . . . bringing the interactive companionship, happiness and purpose associated with owning a pet, without the responsibility.
