CASE STUDY: ENGAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR SENIOR CARE

Timberhill Place case study thumbnail

Challenge

Timberhill Place is a 60-bed licensed assisted living facility in Corvallis, OR. In mid 2020, Timberhill had accepted the realization that challenges along with state& federal regulations caused by COVID-19 were going to affect the cadence and content of communication they needed to have with the family members of their residents. In response, they implemented an initiative to establish regular, reliable, and timely messaging with family members. Timberhill did not have a current system in place to help fulfill this need in a practical and convenient manner, and had concerns that utilizing several available methods of communication would just get lost in the mountain of information pushed at the family members of their residents each day. These methods included emails, social media channels, text messages, and physical mail.

Physical mail was never considered as an option, but the management team at Timberhill had concerns over adopting a technology resource as the answer to their need. Management and staff of senior care facilities are caregivers by nature & training, and not necessarily tech gurus. Implementing new technology into their business models can be a concern by the individuals that will ultimately have to use such resources on a daily basis. Additionally, with average resident ages close to 90 years old, residents of senior care facilities and their family members can also be used to, and more comfortable with, more traditional methods of communication.

Solution

Timberhill began looking into potential technology solutions, and after researching several technology solutions they chose Quiltt, a digital communication platform created specifically for the Senior Care space. Quilt has a number of useful features, in particular their alert messaging and family messaging capabilities which are done through their mobile app.
