Dining, events, and registration
One of the app’s standout tools is the Dining module, which presents daily meal selections and special menus in an easy-to-read format. Residents can register for meals or dining events, staff can handle attendee lists and manage bookings, and visitors or prospects can quickly view the dining services offered by your community.
Finding and contacting people
Touchtown includes searchable resident and staff directories so community members can locate contact details and reach out with just a few taps. This helps strengthen connections across residents, family members, and employees while simplifying internal communication.
Accessibility and voice-enabled features
The app supports accessibility preferences such as adjustable text size and layout options to accommodate varying visual needs. It also works with Alexa, enabling voice access to event listings, announcements, and daily menus for hands-free convenience.
Tailoring the app to your community
Touchtown can build a customized version of the app to present the most relevant information to different audiences — residents, staff, families, and prospective clients — with configurable views and permissions. To discuss building or configuring a community-specific app, contact Touchtown directly to begin the process.
