Enhancing Lives Through Technology

Ecumen Oaks & Pines is committed to using innovative technology to enhance the lives and independence of the people we serve.

Ecumen Connects, a private site web community for our residents' families to connect with their loved ones and our community events, was introduced in June 2011. Learning basic computer skills are proven to help seniors sharpen their memory, build confidence and promote overal cognitive fitness. Ecumen Connects is free so residents, families, friends and staff can stay connected through the internet. Learn more about Ecumen Connects, or request access and get connected.

Ecumen Oaks & Pines also utilizes Dakim Brain Fitness software. Click here for more information and a quick Brain Fitness demo of the Brain Fitness program.

QuietCare is a 24 hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week early detection system that lets caregivers and family members know that a loved one is safe. The system alerts a team member at Ecumen Oaks & Pines if normal daily activity substantially changes. QuietCare helps to identify small problems before they become large ones. This is one more tool to help us help you live the way you want to live.

QuietCare features include:

• Small unobtrusive, strategically placed wireless sensors; no video camera or audio intrusion
• QuietCare is unique because it "learns" individual behavioral patterns and notes changes
• Help is summoned even when a resident is unable to do so
• Sensors transmit information 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week
• QuietCare creates a valuable link between our team members, our customers and their loved ones

Ecumen was a founding parnter of the Center for Aging Services Technologies, a national collaboration of technology providers, housing providers and universities leading a national charge to deploy technology to help people live life fully on their terms.
