OAKMONT, PA—Nashville-based Uniguest, a cybersecurity specialist in public space technology, has acquired Touchtown, a senior living community engagement technology provider based in Oakmont, PA, outside of Pittsburgh.

“We are seeing an increased demand for digital engagement and managed services in the senior living communities we operate in,” says Uniguest CEO Jeff Hiscox. “Adding Uniguest's solutions like fitness kiosks and secure computing via Secured Advantage 10 to what Touchtown already provides will increase the breadth of product offerings for the senior living space.”

The acquisition of Touchtown is a natural fit for Uniguest, which already has a presence in many senior living communities. The solutions Touchtown provides enhance community engagement for residents, family members, employees and prospective clients.

Touchtown solutions can be found in more than 1,200 communities while serving 250,000 seniors and 200,000 staff members. Adding the Touchtown portfolio to the Uniguest fold enhances value in both product offering and integration, the company says.

Acquiring Touchtown expands Uniguest's value in the ability to centrally manage and distribute content to devices, places and screens. Touchtown solutions like Census Builder have helped transform the community tour, and senior living executive directors say that it gives them a competitive advantage over competing communities. Another product Touchtown offers is the Community Apps platform which connects residents, families and staff on mobile devices.

The technology Uniguest delivers focuses on cybersecurity, managed services, and providing engagement for its clients' customers. Solutions include secure public computing and printers, fitness kiosks, and products from previously acquired ONELAN that comprise Reserva meeting room signage and other visual engagement solutions.

“Uniguest's technology offerings are directly in line with what members of senior living communities are looking for,” Touchtown president Ted Teele says. “With more and more baby boomers entering the senior living community space, there is an increased demand for delivering secure engagement technology to our clients.”

For the remainder of 2019, Touchtown will continue to operate as a stand-alone business with its current team members operating out of the Oakmont, PA, headquarters. Touchtown will immediately begin to sell Uniguest technology into the senior living space along with its current offerings.
