This immersive visit offers a firsthand look at how Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP is empowering older adults through technology, while collaborating with organizations nationwide to expand digital literacy in meaningful, scalable ways.

How AARP’s Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) is empowering older adults through technology.

Participants will explore the innovative Senior Planet model, beginning with a guided tour of the center to see how technology supports older adults in living connected, independent lives. The OATS story will highlight key program areas that drive social impact—including health and wellness initiatives focused on vision, nutrition, mobility, hearing, cognitive health, and reducing isolation.

Attendees will also learn about the Senior Planet licensing program, a proven and free framework that enables organizations to deliver high-quality technology training and programming in their own communities. Real-world examples and licensed partner perspectives will illustrate how collaboration leads to measurable outcomes.

The experience will culminate in a live sample class led by a Senior Planet trainer, giving participants the opportunity to step into the learner’s shoes, followed by a facilitated discussion to reflect on key takeaways and explore opportunities for collaboration and alignment.

Visit highlights:

• Explore practical, scalable solutions for implementing technology programming in your community.
• Learn how to address critical health and social determinants through technology engagement.
• Hear directly from Senior Planet licensed partners about their experiences and outcomes.
• Identify opportunities to collaborate and expand your organization’s impact.

Small House Summit
August 13 • 7:45 am-1:30 pm

THE GREEN HOUSE™ Homes at Mirasol Tour: Loveland, Colorado

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when care is built around people instead of systems, this is your opportunity to see it, feel it, and ask the questions that matter. This event is ideal for professionals, stakeholders, and individuals interested in exploring innovative approaches to creating non-institutional care environments. This standalone event requires separate registration and associated fees.

Here at The Green House Homes at Mirasol, small-house living replaces long hallways. Real kitchens replace warming trays. Relationships replace routines. Every detail of the small-house model reflects the belief that elders deserve dignity, connection, and meaningful daily life.

This exclusive event will arm you with an understanding of why AgingIN’s small house strategies support the creation of next-level, person-directed living environments.

What you’ll get:

• Radical Eldercare Innovations. Forget what you know about care environments. Learn how AgingIN and the Mirasol Senior Community worked together to redefine eldercare with state-of-the-art, small-house homes.
• Operational Excellence. The professionals will share how, in conjunction with AgingIN, they implemented life-tested strategies for streamlining operations, balanced financials, improved compliance, and drove better outcomes.
• Real Experts, Real Talk. Get actionable insights from AgingIN and industry leaders who’ve been there, done that, without abstract concepts.
• Seeing Is Believing. Walk through the homes and experience how a better model of eldercare unfolds and how it personally resonates with residents, team members, and families.
• The Power of Management Companies. If you’re running a small house operation solo, you might be leaving money and quality on the table. Learn how a professional management team can maximize care quality, compliance, and financial sustainability.

If you are rethinking skilled living, assisted living, memory care or strengthening workforce models, this experience offers something rare: proof. You will leave with a clearer understanding of how AgingIN’s human-centered design and operations can improve quality of life and strengthen the bottom line.
