Connections for Independent Living offers several technology programs to assist our registered consumers. These include our communications technology program, our technology loan program, our TechMate assistance program, and our Connections technology lab.

 

Communications technology program

Available equipment includes amplified and captioned telephones, smartphones and tablets, along with ring signalers and neck loops, or headsets and specialized equipment. This technology provides an individual with access to family members, and to the community at large.

Connections for Independent Living is an authorized demonstration center for the program. If you have interest in participating in a free, no-obligation demonstration of available equipment, please contact Connections at (970) 352-8682.
