WESTPORT, Conn., /PRNewswire/ -- Maplewood Senior Living, a leading provider of luxury senior residences, has teamed up with the Live Living Network to offer live and interactive educational and entertainment programs to senior organizations. Maplewood is a founding partner and the first senior community to make Live Living Network programs available in all its communities. The Live Living Network is a calendar of interactive live-streaming programs developed specifically for seniors through a partnership with Maplewood Senior Living's Center for Aging Innovation and Technology. The Live Living Network enables senior residents to regularly interact with its content community represented by a host of leading museums, zoos, aquariums, art and historical sites, performing arts groups, and many other types of organizations and experts. "Maplewood looks to new innovations to better increase engagement and social connectedness for our residents," said Brian Geyser, APRN-BC, MSN, Vice President of Clinical Innovation and Population Health at Maplewood Senior Living. "The Live Living Network has a unique approach that allows us to bring novel and interesting programs to our residents. The cross section of the advanced interactive technology and stimulating programing is appealing to our residents, especially those who might be limited in their mobility." Maplewood introduced the Live Living Network service to its first community through a pilot program that ran from June through October. Based on the positive responses from residents, Maplewood expanded the program to all its locations throughout the country. "Our platform is here to engage older adults, supplement the work and challenges activity directors face, and foster interaction with a segment of the population that is so important to our content partners," said Doug Ashton, CEO of Live Living Network. "Our virtual programs eliminate the limitations of physical proximity, but unlike so many other video offerings, we offer an interaction between our presenters and audiences that enhances the overall experience and increases social engagement." The commercial launch of the Live Living Network is set for November 29th, when Maplewood residents will enjoy a live and interactive stream with the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium in Sarasota, Florida for a presentation on Manatees. Upcoming presenters will include The Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, the National D-Day Memorial, and the National Blue Museum, among others. The Live Living Network presents a calendar of activities known to residents and activity directors well in advance to support planning and scheduling.
