American House Senior Living Shows Marked Improvement in Resident Engagement with Senior Simon App
Senior Simon has become part of residents' routine and is adding value to everyday life.
Southfield, Michigan, Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Senior Simon, a communication app created for senior living communities, has significantly improved connectivity among residents, families and team members at American House Senior Living. What began as a pilot of the app has become a critical part of the American House communication plan. In just over six months,100% of the nearly 60 communities have adopted the app, resulting in increased engagement and streamlined information sharing.
American House was drawn to Senior Simon’s intuitive, user-friendly platform that removes common technology barriers by eliminating usernames, passwords and complex onboarding. Since implementation, engagement metrics have validated that decision. With nearly 2,500 active users, the Senior Simon app is opened an average of six times per user per day, with each session driving approximately eight in-app interactions, resulting in more than 538,000 content views in December alone.
"These numbers tell a very human story,” said Beth Hussey, Founder of Senior Simon. “People aren’t just opening the app, they’re coming back to it throughout the day and actively interacting once they’re there. That’s how we know Senior Simon has become part of their routine and is adding value to everyday life."
Piloting Senior Simon has not only enhanced communication with American House residents and families, it’s also boosted engagement. During Winter Storm Fern in Tennessee, Senior Simon enabled swift dissemination of critical updates to residents and families, ensuring everyone remained informed about proactive measures. Additionally, a third-party provider, Legacy Therapy, reported a notable increase in engagement, stating, "The new Senior Simon app has improved participation of the residents in classes and events. Senior Simon is a HIT! Thank you for rolling out a valuable tool that will benefit our seniors now and in the future."
The app's impact is evident across various communities. Jeremiah Johnson, Executive Director at American House Coconut Point, highlighted the app's impact, "Senior Simon has completely transformed the way we connect with our residents and their families. With just a click of a button, we're able to share real-time updates, heartfelt moments and important information. It's drastically improved communication, strengthened our sense of community, and has given families access to their loved one’s daily lives, whether they are across town or across the country. We see Senior Simon as more than a communications tool—it’s a bridge."
Senior Simon has aligned with the company mission, as stated by American House Chief Operating Officer Alex Germain-Robin, “We are intentional about investing in technology that contributes to the quality of life of our residents and families. The baby boomer generation is entering senior living, bringing with them an increased familiarity and comfort with technology. Having an app like Senior Simon, which is both intuitive and user-friendly, is a significant step forward in meeting their expectations and needs.”
Senior Simon's adaptability across all levels of care supports autonomy in Independent Living and Assisted Living by empowering residents to stay informed and engaged. In Memory Care, it provides families with meaningful visibility into their loved one’s day, fostering a sense of connection even when they cannot be personally present.
