Retirement residences need to communicate with large numbers of people quickly and simply. There are always new community events, recreational activities, staff, residents, and daily menus that need to be communicated across the residence. One of the most effective ways to get this information across is through digital signage.
Today’s digital signage can be as flashy and eye-catching or as ambient and calming as you need it to be. With custom enclosures and design, there are digital signage displays that will fit any environment, including retirement residences.
One of the major concerns retirement residences have is where you can put digital signage. Just about anywhere, though different rooms and uses are better suited to different types.
Digital Signage at Reception
This is where you put your best foot forward. It’s how you greet new residents, families, visitors, and what staff see every day as they come in through the door. Several panels behind the reception desk or on the wall facing the front door are ideal locations for digital signage at reception.
Video Walls in the Entertaining Room
The entertaining room is the ideal place for a video wall. Video walls are large displays that create an ambiance or show video. It can be focused on entertainment or creating a mood. You can change this content to reflect holidays, recreational activities, and more.
Digital Menu Boards for the Cafeteria
When it comes to food, you know that senior living is in something of a golden age. Today’s generation demands more for themselves and for their parents. The food you serve is one of your biggest selling points. It must taste great and provide plenty of nutrition, and you have to provide more options than ever before. Digital menu boards in the cafeteria can quickly and prominently display options with appealing images and even video. One feature included in Netvisual digital menu boards is the ease with which you can update nutritional and allergies information. Just update your information through the online portal and you can have up-to-date menus every day. For more information about digital menu boards, contact us anytime with your questions.
In-Suite Digital Signage Channels
When you’re using digital signage to share community news, daily menus, or welcoming new residents, it’s good to make your digital signage as accessible as possible. You should seriously consider finding a digital signage company that makes your digital signage channel available on in-suite TVs. That way residents can quickly find out what’s on the menu for the day in their own suites. Checking your own channel will become a habit just like checking the weather channel.
Digital Signage in Long-Term Care
Digital signage may also include assisted living digital screens in long-term care. They can be used for entertainment and community news. Consult with our installation team at Netvisual about digital signage and content in long-term care. Digital signage is about helping residents keep up with the community and providing entertainment.
Retirement residents need digital signage displays to stay in touch with residents and staff, present a friendly, warm environment, and create a feeling of community. Open up the communication channels with your residents and staff through digital signage.
