Mount Vernon-based Wartburg Retirement Communities has partnered with Sage Stream to provide live-stream music-focused entertainment to residents in real time.
Headquartered in Huntersville, North Carolina, Sage Stream provides an interactive environment by using chat-based technology to take requests from viewers, provide shout-out to communities and call out special events.
Sage Stream is endorsed by the National Association of Activity Professionals in the U.S. and Music for Dementia in the U.K. With additional mentors from the Lieber Institute for Brain
Development and the Institute for Music and Neurological Function, Sage Stream produces programs to maximize brain health.
“We piloted Sage Stream earlier in the year and our staff reported back that it was an affordable and valuable resource that residents looked forward to each week,” said Wartburg President and CEO David J. Gentner. “In a tech and gadget-filled world, staff like the simplicity and ease of use of Sage Stream, which saves them hours of activity planning time. I personally like the idea of song requests as it harkens back to a time when you could actually call a radio station and make requests.”
