Digital Made Doable: Supportive Tech at Treeo – South Ogden

May 21, Alissa Sauer

Simple tools. Real support. Big confidence boosts.

At Treeo – South Ogden, we know technology isn’t just for the younger generation. In fact, when paired with the right support, it can be a powerful way to stay independent, engaged, and connected with the people and activities you love most.

That’s why we’ve made technology an easy and approachable part of daily life here—never overwhelming, always optional, and fully supported. From iPads for every resident to personalized help during our weekly “Tech Time,” we’re here to make the digital world more accessible—and even fun.

Here’s how we’re doing it.

Small Devices, Big Impact

Every resident at Treeo receives an iPad when they move in. It’s a simple tool, but it opens up a world of possibilities. From video calls with grandkids to checking the day’s dining menu, watching a favorite show, or reading the news—it’s all right there at your fingertips.

We’ve seen residents light up the first time they FaceTime a family member or stream a concert they used to attend in person. It’s not about learning every new app or trend. It’s about staying in touch with what—and who—matters most.

Personalized Help at “Tech Time”

We get it—tech can feel frustrating. That’s why we offer weekly Tech Time sessions with our friendly team, including Jerik Roberts, our Connections Manager (and unofficial Tech Guru). Whether it’s setting up a new email, learning how to use a smart TV remote, or figuring out how to get photos from a phone, we’ve got you covered.

As Jerik says, “Technology can feel overwhelming at first, but with a little patience and support, I see residents gain confidence every week.”

We take it at your pace. No pressure, no jargon, just help when—and how—you want it.

Stay Connected with the MyLeisureCare App

One of the most-loved features of our tech-friendly lifestyle is the MyLeisureCare app. Designed specifically for our communities, this resident-focused app puts everything you need in one easy-to-navigate place.

With a few taps, you can:

• View daily menus
• Sign up for events and outings
• Request housekeeping
• Send and receive messages from the team

Whether you want to schedule a fitness class, check when the next movie is showing, or message the concierge, it’s all right there in your hands.

The MyLeisureCare app is about simplifying your day so you can spend more time doing what you love—and less time tracking down schedules, paper sign-ups, or announcements.

Everyday Benefits of Technology for Seniors

At Treeo – South Ogden, we believe technology should support your lifestyle, not complicate it. When introduced with the right tools and support, it can help residents feel more connected, independent, and engaged in their daily routines.

Here’s how we see technology making a real difference in our residents’ lives every day:

Stay Connected to the People You Love

From FaceTime and texting to social media and email, technology makes it easier than ever to stay in touch with family and friends. Whether you’re seeing a grandchild’s birthday cake in real-time or just saying hello to a long-distance friend, these moments bring comfort, joy, and a sense of closeness.

Boost Physical Wellness

Many residents enjoy using their iPads and smart devices to track steps, follow along with PrimeFit Wellness videos, or try gentle stretching routines on YouTube. Some even use fitness apps or sync wearables to monitor heart rate, movement, or sleep patterns—making wellness goals easier and more fun to follow.

Stay Mentally Active

Digital tools can help keep the brain sharp. Residents explore brain games, crossword apps, language learning programs, and even TED Talks or audiobooks—all at their own pace and comfort level. Whether you’re learning something new or revisiting a favorite subject, it’s all just a tap away.

Enjoy Daily Convenience

Gone are the days of paper calendars and bulletin boards. With the MyLeisureCare app and resident iPads, you can:

• Check the daily dining menu
• View upcoming activities and sign up for events
• Request maintenance or housekeeping
• Send messages directly to the front desk or concierge
• Stay in the loop with community announcements

Everything you need to know about your day is easily accessible—and easy to manage.

Build Confidence

One of the most rewarding parts of introducing technology is watching residents gain confidence. With regular Tech Time sessions and a patient, supportive team, many residents go from hesitant to independent in no time. Mastering a device or app might seem like a small win, but for many, it represents something bigger: confidence, control, and curiosity.
