I'm interested in convincing my CEO to start a password-protected resident directory or portal at my residential senior living facility. Starting this discussion should benefit others if they don't have a robust resident resident directory,
If you answer one or more of these questions I would appreciate it.
1. “Do you have a password-protected resident directory or portal?”
2. “May residents voluntarily add a biography, former career, interests, skills, affiliations, or photo?”
3. “Can residents search by those fields, or only browse alphabetically?”
4. “Is participation opt-in, and can each resident control what is visible?”
5. “Is the tool part of a resident app, an intranet, a resident association website, or directory software?”
6. “Who maintains it: staff, the residents’ association, or a volunteer committee?”
7. “Has it helped newcomers connect, clubs recruit members, or residents find others with shared interests?”
