A freemium communications platform built for senior living teams — free to get started, with upgrade options for organizations ready to scale.
“Every building needs a communications foundation. We built this to be free because we believe that’s where better care starts.” — Craig Patnode, CEO, SimplyConnect
MINNETONKA, MN, May 08, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — SimplyConnect today announced it will offer its communications platform free of charge to senior living operators, launching the offer at BOLD 2026, the LeadingAge California Annual Conference, May 19–22 in Palm Desert, California.
SimplyConnect Communications gives every team in the building a single place to message, coordinate, and stay connected — replacing the pagers, walkie-talkies, and fragmented tools most buildings still rely on today.
