About Us
Growing Older Living Digitally, Inc. (GOLD) is about restoring connection, dignity, and confidence for older adults in a world that’s moving fast around them. We believe no one should feel left out simply because technology has changed — and we’re here to help seniors feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Through warm, patient guidance and hands-on workshops, GOLD teaches older adults how to use the digital tools that help them stay healthy, independent, and connected — from sending a text to navigating MyChart. Every class is a chance to build confidence, spark joy, and open up a whole new way of living.
