Detroit Business Magazine recently spotlighted our fun and helpful little robot and we’re pleased to report it hasn’t affected Simon’s ego one bit. OK, maybe his circuits are feeling a rush of adrenaline, but that’s what makes him so … human.
Reporter Tim Keenan spoke with our Founder and CEO Beth Hussey about how her own family experience taught her how difficult it can be to stay connected once a loved one moves into a senior living community. Updates were scattered. Information was slow in coming. Families wanted more insight than what they were receiving about their loved one.
Beth and team got to work and the result was … Senior Simon.
“When my mom moved into a senior living community, we quickly discovered that operators didn’t have an easy way to communicate changes or share important, time-sensitive information,” Beth said. “It’s natural that families want to feel closer to their loved one’s day-to-day life.”
Simon solved all these issues without the stress of complicated technology. The results spoke much louder than Simon ever does. The 22nd largest provider of senior living in the nation, American House, signed on to pilot the app and was so convinced of its effectiveness that they became an early adopter of the app.
In just 48 days, Senior Simon delivered more than 2,500+ active users and generated over 700,000 content views. Users returned on average five times per day and one community reported a 30% increase in resident engagement.
Detroit Business Magazine captured it perfectly: Senior Simon is redefining communication in senior living by keeping things simple, intuitive and stress-free, while helping communities boost resident engagement and build trust with families.
