Resident Director of Lindenwold Towers, Cliff Mitchell, opened up the event by giving a warm welcome and introducing the ConnectedLiving program and team to the community. During the presentation, the ConnectedLiving team surprised residents with a Skype call to former resident, Rita, who moved to Connecticut to live with her son and his family. Residents were eager to interact with their old friend by using the new ConnectedLiving technology platform.
