Eaton Terrace is taking great strides to make a difference in the everyday lives of the resident's that call it home.
They are inviting new innovators to come trial the latest technology to combat loneliness, isolation, and depression with idea like "Ryan" and the I-pad program.
Josh Lane presented on "Ryan" the Companion Bot (seen pictured)
"Ryan is not just a robot, it's a friend, an assistant, and a constant companion." Residents loved using Ryan and hope to have a companion bot full time after their planned launch in 2020.
Pat Cook with the Colorado Gerentological Society presented on the IPad program where residents purchase their own equipment at a reduced rate and then attend classes to learn how to connect with family, safely bank online, take pictures, and even connect with their peers when learning together. The results have been nothing but a huge success. It has even become an important part of therapy and recovery for one resident who lost her ability to speak. The IPad has become her voice and tool for communication!
The last presentation was from Gary with Cycling Without Age. These special bikes allow anyone to get out for safe and comfortable bike ride. Eaton and the City of Lakewood have two of these special bikes with trained pilots to take residents out for rides! It brought tears to my eyes to see the joy that follows where these bikes go.
Lastly I enjoyed (all pictures that are of the community.) a tour of the completely redesigned Summit House. This is Independent living for those who don't quite qualify for Medicaid, but are still low-income.
These apartments are pet friendly, completely remodeled and stunning! The views from the East and West facing 6th floor decks will have you ready to move in! Floor to ceiling windows! And access to the FULL range of services provided on the Eaton Campus.
Huge thanks to Jordan Harris and David Smart! These two gentleman work from their hearts and it shows in the community they manage!
Feel free to call me for more information!
