Capital Senior Living Introduces Virtual Engagement Program Across Its Communities During National Assisted Living Week

U.S. senior living community operator Capital Senior Living has announced the launch of its Virtual Engagement Program (VEP) to enable greater communication for its residents, reports GlobeNewswire . The operator will distribute tablet computers across its communities, in order to facilitate communications between residents and their families. The program was introduced in time to honor National Assisted Living Week, which ran from Sept. 13 to Sept. 19. The VEP program includes conducting scheduled virtual meeting times with families, live-streaming of certain community events, and the ability to highlight communities to future residents. To further augment the program and ensure greater access to key technology, Capital Senior Living determined that circulating tablets for National Assisted Living week would benefit all constituents as they will further improve communication, especially when residents must stay socially distanced in the community and from their loved ones. "While we had already been facilitating virtual communication between our residents and their families as well as amongst potential future residents, additional tablets will increase opportunities for our residents to stay close to their loved ones," said Capital Senior Living Chief Operating Officer Brandon Ribar.
