The Golden Age to Stay Connected:
How Uniguest Technology Enhances Senior Living
At Discovery Village, residents don’t just age—they thrive. With Uniguest technology seamlessly integrated into daily life, residents embrace independence, stay socially engaged, and continue learning new skills well into their 90s.
“Age is just a number,” shares Marion Ungrich, a resident at Discovery Village Independent Living in Naples, Florida. “I was born in 1926, which makes me 97 and a half years old. Where I live now, technology doesn’t slow me down—it keeps me going.” From checking the daily dining specials to signing up for activities through their smart devices, residents have technology at their fingertips, empowering them to make choices that enhance their quality of life.
A key differentiator of this community is its commitment to technology. “What sets us apart from other senior communities is that we push technology, and our residents thrive on it,” explains the Director of Celebration . With intuitive digital solutions, residents can stay connected, engaged, and in control of their daily routines. Whether it’s browsing event schedules, signing up for a movie night, or joining a technology class, Uniguest’s platform ensures a seamless experience.
“I go to the movies three or four nights a week,” shares Marion, with a smile. “It’s tough, but someone has to do it.” Whether socializing or exploring new interests, residents find that technology enhances their ability to stay active.
Technology classes are a cornerstone of this community’s success, offering opportunities for residents to familiarize themselves with new tools and devices. “The senior population can still learn these things,” says the Director of Celebration. “When we introduce them to the technology, they realize how much it simplifies their lives. And once they get the hang of it, they’re using it everywhere—and even teaching their friends!”
In addition to digital engagement, Uniguest headset technology also enhances accessibility. Many residents benefit from assistive listening devices that improve their ability to hear lectures, music, and conversations. “By putting on the wireless headphones, they feel like the person is sitting right next to them,” says the Director of Celebration. “You can see the lightbulb moment when they realize they can hear everything clearly.”
Beyond practical benefits, technology fosters connection. “No matter what age, you should never stop learning,” Tamara Bowen, Corporate Director of Celebration, emphasizes. “All of a sudden, we’re not living in the past—we’re living in the moment.” Whether it’s through video calls with family, exploring new digital tools, or staying updated on community events, Uniguest’s platform opens doors to an enriched lifestyle.
Change can be challenging, but this community proves that when technology is simple and intuitive, seniors embrace it wholeheartedly. “Keeping it simple allows them to say, ‘I can do this, and I can use this technology well,’” says the Director of Celebration. The impact is clear—residents are more engaged, independent, and excited about what’s next.
As Marion Ungrich puts it best: “Not only have I not given up learning because I’m 97—I think I benefit from being 97. Life would be very dull if you didn’t have the willingness to learn new things.” With Uniguest technology, aging isn’t about limitations—it’s about possibilities.
