Learn how CONNECT is different from other digital engagement platforms
The CONNECT Platform
CONNECT is a digitial engagement platform featuring expert-designed programs that engage participants, whether they live in long-term care, attend an adult day center, receive home health services, or are being cared for in their own home.
1. Builds Relationships
2. Evidence-Based
When used in a group setting, CONNECT promotes meaningful social connections between participants using activities that are fun and age appropriate. When used in a one-on-one setting, CONNECT helps to strengthen relationships between older adults and staff or family members.
NIH-funded research demonstrates that people with mild memory issues can successfully serve as group leaders for CONNECT activities. This provides social roles to participants and provides much needed assistance to Life Enrichment staff. CONNECT is great when led by a staff member but incredible when led by a participant.
3. Social Roles
CONNECT bolsters focus and participation by providing each participant with their own tablet. Even people with late-stage dementia are able to actively participate in some of the activities.
5. Increased Focus
The activities included in the CONNECT app have been developed and tested in numerous NIH-funded clinical trials over the past 10 years. Research has demonstrated that the activities have a measurable impact on quality of life, engagement, and responsive behaviors.
Digital engagement platforms often require staff to go through extensive training to learn their many functions. Since CONNECT focuses exclusively on providing high-quality activities, the app is incredibly easy to use, even for those who are uncomfortable with technology.
4. Very Easy to Use
CONNECT has over 500 activities related to a wide variety of topics, with more activities being released every month—that’s a fresh new activity for every day of the year!
