Community in senior living isn't just what happens in the common room anymore. It happens when a resident figures out how to pay a bill online without asking anyone for help. That moment, quiet and private, is one of the most confidence-building things that can happen to a person in their 70s or 80s. Your residents didn't stop wanting connection. The world just added a new layer to it, and most of them never got a proper introduction. Here's what that means for your community, and what you can do about it.
