It’s Never 2 Late, a digital engagement provider, and Denver-based Christian Living Communities have entered into a strategic partnership to improve the social determinants of health in older adults.

By specifically focusing on improving social connection, the two organizations aim to prevent negative health outcomes that can arise when seniors don’t have adequate social support.

“CLC is committed to continually improving upon and evolving the care model for older adults served by our communities,” said Terry Rogers, CLC CEO. “We are excited about the opportunity this presents to direct additional focus on providing the highest level of person-centered care for older adults with the goal of ensuring they stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible.”

Serving more than 3,000 older adults daily through 24 senior living communities and a home care service, CLC and its management division Cappella Living Solutions, plan to launch an Institutional Special Needs Plan in early 2021.

iN2L enables providers like CLC to enrich the lives of residents and clients through meaningful connection. iN2L’s solution focuses on connecting older adults with their passions and interests as well as with each other, their caregivers and family members by sharing conversations, memories, experiences, learning and fun through interactive content that can easily be accessed through familiar touch-screen technology formats. 

“We know that by engaging elders meaningfully and connecting them to others around them, we create higher levels of camaraderie and engagement as well as a greater sense of purpose, all elements that are critical to overall health and quality of life,” said Lisa Taylor, iN2L CEO. “Our solution is strategically designed as a tool to impact social support and healthy behaviors and, in turn, improve health outcomes.”
