Connecting Daily- Campus Network Upgrade
Project Details
Please help us with the necessary network upgrade in our community. The total cost for the upgrade will be $35,000 and we hope you will help us raise the first $5,000 of this project. Technology affects campus and our residents in so many ways from providing excellent care to our seniors connecting with their loved ones.
Technology Ways we work Electronic health records have been in place for years—so when Sunrise residents move from one care level to another, their health data moves with them seamlessly. Beyond the Sunrise campus, we now have enhanced systems that connect with local hospitals to provide easier access to information on new and returning residents. And as we have navigated the pandemic, technology has ensured secure systems for everything from data transfer to telehealth appointments that keep our seniors safe.
Technology Ways we communicate Thanks to new technologies, it’s easier for people to travel yet keep in touch across the miles. More of our residents are using their phones or tablets for video calls with their children or grandchildren than ever before. For seniors who don’t have family close by, or for loved ones who can’t visit due to illness, technology is a critical tool to keep everyone connected.
Technology Ways we play Sunrise residents have embraced technology and the new opportunities it has created. Our seniors use personal electronic devices to watch movies and play word or card games to keep their minds active and strong. And with our “It’s Never 2 Late” system, residents borrow tablets to watch TV shows from years gone by, take virtual travels, play games tailored to their preferences, and engage in other meaningful content.
Technology What’s next? “Connecting daily” is key, and technology helps us fulfill that critical part of our mission. In the coming year, we want to further improve technology at Sunrise. Specifically, we want to enrich 1. how we connect to provide better care, and 2. how we help residents connect with their families and the world around them. Enhanced technology will impact every aspect of life at Sunrise—from activities to telehealth appointments to regular video chats—so we’re making it the primary focus of future fundraising efforts. Will you connect with us to make a difference in this important work?
