Resident Burnell Landenberger enjoys experimenting with the new touch-screen technology.

(Bismarck, N.D.) – At Good Samaritan Society – Bismarck, high tech is combining with high touch in the introduction of a computer system designed specifically for seniors. The program has the belief that it’s never too late for one to join the digital revolution. From using e-mail to connect with family and friends, to enjoying mind-stimulating activities and improving hand-eye coordination as part of a rehabilitation program, seniors with a wide range of physical and cognitive abilities, most of whom have never used a computer, are now enjoying technology using systems adapted especially for them.

The Society has the opportunity to become a teaching campus for training physicians and geriatricians in long-term care. The fellowship is a one-year accredited program designed to help more doctors become specialists in providing healthcare for seniors.
