Ingleside Leverages Partnerships to Upgrade Technology

LeadingAge CAST Patron Ingleside is tapping partnerships with internet and cell phone providers, building management, and property management to upgrade its technology infrastructure, according to a recent Senior Housing News article. A key example is a partnership with T-Mobile and AT&T to enhance wi-fi infrastructure that, said Dusanka Delovska-Trajkova, Ingleside’s chief information and digital officer and a CAST Commissioner, otherwise would have cost around $1 per square foot in a 1 million square foot community. In addition, a recent Ingleside blog profiled its volunteer-run Resident Tech Help program, now a model for other communities as it approaches its fifth anniversary.
