Have you ever wondered how an idea with a strong ‘why’ can grow into a multi-million company touching countless people in the senior living field? Jack York, iN2L’s fearless Co-Founder, has earned a respected reputation in senior living for his charismatic, mission-driven approach in building an organization around the idea that it’s never too late for a fulfilling life. The impetus for what became iN2L was a philanthropic idea to donate computers to assisted living communities and nursing homes in Southern California.
With Jack’s tenured background in Silicon Valley as a strategic sales leader, he saw a vast potential in fostering these connections between seniors and the outside world, but also saw that conventional technology was too difficult for most older adults to use in a meaningful way. So he decided to find a way to make technology accessible for all levels of physical and cognitive ability. Tune in to learn more about the journey of iN2L. Jack is a sought-after national and international speaker on technology being used to create personalized experiences that engage and connect older adults to their loved ones and the world at large, specifically individuals with dementia.

5. All Things Resident Technology - Vinson Hall
On Ep 5 of Raising Tech, Rachel Lugge is joined by Haider Mahmood, Senior Director of Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Virginia. Haider describes the journey their team embarked on to cultivate the right buy-in from residents for new technologies and the right mix of hands-on technology support this military community needed to ensure the technology they were bringing to their campus had true sticking power. Haider describes touching before and after scenarios of residents who were once tech-adverse, now using technology with confidence and creativity. Haider credits this transformation of technology culture to involving residents in the planning process from day one and enough ongoing hands-on technology support to ensure new technologies can be learned, practiced and used on a consistent basis.
In this episode, Haider shares how Vinson Hall is measuring the ROI for their resident tech program, the practical advice and the tactical steps any community should consider when looking to incorporate new technologies, and the lessons they learned along the way.
