Progressive retirement communities throughout the country are focused on ways technology can benefit their independent older adults. "It's easy to make assumptions about what older adults with any type of disability can and cannot do with technology," said Ben Unkle, CEO, Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay. "These assumptions are instantly shattered when user-friendly technology intersects with meaningful and appropriate content personalized for each resident." Unkle explained that Westminster-Canterbury chose to partner with iN2L because of their proven track record in senior living, and specifically their ability to individualize programs to help residents regardless of cognitive or physical disabilities. "We evaluated several technology vendors, and iN2L's experience in helping elders with dementia is why we chose them," Unkle added. "They have been a partner of ours for several years; this takes our relationship to the next level."

"We are excited about what this project means to the future of aging," said Jack York, co-founder and CEO, It's Never 2 Late. "For 15 years we have been delivering adaptive computer systems primarily used in group settings. This is a watershed project branching into individuals' rooms, and is the logical extension of our mission. Westminster-Canterbury continues to push the envelope of person-centered care and we are honored to be partnering with such an innovative organization."
