Email for seniors has long been a troublesome issue for families. Many have tried to get mom or dad to adopt a computer, and have failed. This effectively cut them off from most of the interpersonal communications that goes on between family members these days.

In a major step towards solving this problem for many families, today we are announcing that Presto has signed an agreement with Minnesota-based Ecumen, the leading innovator in senior housing and services, to make Presto Mail service available to Ecumen-at-home customers [click here to read press release].

Ecumen had been looking for a solution to connect various family members with their customers who didn’t use computers, and they found it in Presto. Ecumen’s Chief Information Officer, Larry Jorgensen said, “The absence of complexity is what caused us to choose Presto.” and “Presto provides an elegant way to link our customers to their friends and family all over the world without anyone needing to learn anything new.”

I’m looking forward to helping Ecumen families across the Midwest and West get digitally connected through Presto. They are a high quality organization and are demonstrating their innovative and empowering approach to “Changing Aging” with this initiative.
