Guess Who’s Touring The SmartHomes?

Touring Imagine!’s Charles Family SmartHome in Longmont yesterday: members of the Rotary Club of Longmont as part of their "non-profit day out."

Technology Tuesday

Here’s an quick story of someone who accepts services from Imagine! who is using social media to promote his original artwork.

Ron is an artist whose passion for nature scenes comes to life through his truly impressive talent. With the help of Imagine! CORE/Labor Source Communications Instructor Sarah Fenton, Ron started a Facebook page, Stroke of Nature, to get his art out there and into the public eye.

From the artist: "Here is a link to my website. I have been updating it weekly with two pieces. I am hoping to make a sale or more, and increase the number of people looking at my site."

Thank You, Rusk Family

Today we’d like to share a short video highlighting the Rusk family, who volunteer together each week at Imagine!’s Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome. Thank you Isabelle, Serena, Kristin, and Jason for all you do for Imagine!.

Technology Tuesday

This week's Tech Tuesday takes us to Imagine!’s Santa Fe Group Home in Broomfield, where Donna has joined a group of individuals working on medication self-reliance by using a computer-based medication tracking system designed by Imagine! staff members. Here she is, filling her medication reminder box for the first time. Keep up the great work, Donna!

To learn more about the medication tracking system Donna is using, check out the short video below about Donna’s friend Lana.

Technology Tuesday

Last Friday, ANCOR hosted its 2016 Technology Summit and Showcase and once again, Imagine! representatives were at the forefront.

The day began with a panel discussion entitled “What's Your 'Why' for Using Technology?” Panelists included Gerald Bernard, Executive Director, Charles Lea Center, Allen Ray, President/CEO, SimplyHome, and Imagine!’s own Director of Business Operations, Greg Wellems. The panelists discussed how enabling technology should be less about a person’s needs and more about their abilities, capabilities, and potential for success through natural supports, as well as how each of their companies are taking a uniquely different approach in creating outcomes by first redefining their corporate missions.

Later in the day, attendees had the opportunity to learn how to “Reduce Liability and Costs with an Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR),” presented by Geoff Cooper, President, CaraSolva, and Imagine! Charles Family SmartHome Site Supervisor Chris DiRosa. The pair discussed how providers are reducing liability, costs, and improving individual health outcomes via point of care systems including electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR).

Imagine!’s representation at the ANCOR Tech Summit is another example of how we continue to lead the way in exploring the many ways technology can be used to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Thanks Greg and Chris for being our Imagine! Tech Evangelists!
