Yitterbug

YitterBug is an internet-based communication platform that helps retirement communities combat isolation and depression among their residents by keeping seniors engaged in the world around them. Our simple technology uses televised content and gamification models that provide a fun and effective way to help seniors stay social. Pre-loaded activities are constantly evolving out of the partnerships we’ve established with Western Home Communities and the University of Iowa College of Nursing. Because depression and isolation are known to be directly tied to a decline in overall health for seniors, our commitment to providing engaging content could actually lower your residents' healthcare costs. More importantly, YitterBug engages seniors in a way that helps them live longer, more vibrant lives. And who doesn't want that? YitterBug also comes pre-loaded with tons of easy to customize slides that let you share important information such as menus, activity reminders, health tips, weather announcements, and more. YitterBug provides all of this and more using technology that your residents are already comfortable with and is easy for your staff to manage.
