Testimonials
The IN2L has enhanced our recreation programming 10 fold! We use it 2-4 times a week for our large group activities. We have quite a few residents that use email to contact family and friends. They are just in awe on how it works. Our Resident Council president writes up the agenda for the monthly meetings. Another resident wrote short notes about her life and has now published a book. It has opened many doors for the residents and our facility. Thank you for creating such a wonderful system.

"By reconnecting our Elders with the larger world, and by providing opportunities to rediscover activities long lost in our Elders lives, IN2L may have found a cure for loneliness, helplessness, and boredom."

"Introducing high tech adaptive technology to the elders we serve opens a whole new world for them to travel on their life journey. They can now be physically and mentally engaged in fun, interactive and challenging new activities that they never dreamed possible. When you hear them share, ‘Can you believe it? I'm using a computer and sending e-mails and I'm 79 years old!' it enriches both the resident and the staff experiences."
Judy Amiano, Vice President of Senior Services
Riverside Healthcare

"Volunteers of America believe that the elders we serve in our assisted living communities have much to gain from the connectivity benefits of computers and the Internet. Research is increasingly telling us that staying mentally active promotes healthy aging. Conventional computer technology challenges many of our residents, and so we have partnered with It's Never 2 Late to provide adaptive computer systems at selected assisted living facilities. Designed for individuals who may or may not have computer experience, the technology engages them physically, emotionally, mentally and socially. We believe that this technology has significantly enriched the lives of our residents."

"I have seen It’s Never 2 Late help elders and their families use this modern technology and customized content to reinforce a sense of self and maintain strong relationships. This is a brilliant use of mass communication to help support individuality in elders."

"Its Never 2 Late has helped our senior adults maintain connections with family and friends, bridge the gap between generations and enhance activity programs. The adaptive hardware and software has enabled our individuals with cognitive and physical impairments to do for themselves providing empowering and positive experiences."

Christian Living Campus

"The IN2L system allows the therapists to custom design treatment programs for their residents, beyond the traditional means. With the use of interactive games, puzzles, and internet access, as well as the adaptability of the system for residents with disabilities, we can reach our treatment goals in ways that are innovative and enjoyable for our residents. Occupational Therapy is based on achieving treatment goals through the use of meaningful activity. The IN2L system increases our ability to do this."
