LifestyleLink Gives Group Leaders Tools to Engage Active Adults

Social groups put the “active” in active adult communities. They give residents a way to connect with their neighbors and their community as a whole. But scheduling, moderating, and engaging community members can be a full-time job. LifestyleLink gives staff and volunteer group leaders tools to engage active adults and help them take full advantage of everything the community has to offer.

LifestyleLink is an online community management software that helps active adult communities manage their facilities, billing and social calendars. It has a number of features that make life easier for staff and volunteer group leaders in the neighborhood.

Use Search Options and Personal Invitations to Recruit Members to Social Clubs

If you want your special interest group to add value to your neighbors – and your active adult community as a whole – you need to find ways to engage new members. LifestyleLink makes it easy for new residents to search or scan for social clubs that align with their interests and schedule. A public-facing database and calendar helps residents find you. You can adjust the settings on each group individually, allowing community members to:

• Join automatically
• Join with approval
• Join by invitation

Group leaders can also invite new members to join their club or special-interest group through email or text, depending on the resident’s preferences.

Coordinate Meetings and Events Using LifestyleLink’s Built-In Features

Many active adults keep busy schedules. As a group leader, that can make coordinating meetings challenging.

LifestyleLink gives group leaders tools to easily communicate with staff and their members to coordinate meetings and events. Users with leader privileges can email group members as a whole or individually. Then group leaders can view availability and reserve amenity resources and locations online – for one-time events or recurring group meetings – and let staff approve the requests on their own time. Once the event is finalized, group leaders can use LifestyleLink to invite group members, track registration, and sell tickets to club events.

Take the Discussion Online with LifestyleLink Discussion Forums

The members of your active adult groups may not want to wait until the next club meeting to share photos from their recent trip or discuss the latest community news. LifestyleLink allows group members to take the discussion online through discussion forums. These online discussion groups can be public or private, ensuring your community members’ privacy and safety online. Social clubs can create shared photo albums and files, keeping them connected even when they are out of town.

LifestyleLink is available to active adult communities across the country. You can customize the software to fit your needs and your facility. To give your group leaders the tools they need to engage your members, contact a LifestyleLink representative for a tour of the software.
