Put on your hard hats and pop the champagne: The Woodlands is gearing up for a major expansion that will significantly enhance the living experience for future residents. Starting in spring 2025, we are embarking on this exciting project to meet the growing demand for independent living spaces. Rick Brackett, President and CEO of The Woodlands, shares, "This expansion is crucial to meeting the growing demand at The Woodlands. With our five-year waitlist, this expansion is great news for retirees in Greenville, offering more living options in a community known for its quality, service and hospitality. Future waitlist residents will have first choice of locations and availability, ensuring they get the best fit when this expansion opens its doors."

The 2025 CES has concluded, leaving us with an exciting list of innovative technologies and gadgets designed to improve quality of life and support longevity for people of all ages and abilities. The CES has been taking place since 1967, steadily growing to become the most influential tech event in the world. This year’s show highlighted groundbreaking technologies that could help older adults live independently longer, a mission we are deeply committed to here at The Woodlands. CES attracted 4,500 exhibitors and 141,000 attendees, making it the ideal platform to showcase the future of tech for older adults. While this is not a complete list, we have curated some of the best and most promising ideas for your consideration. Please note that The Woodlands recommends conducting your own research and consulting your physician before purchasing or using any of these products. If you’re a fan of “the next big thing,” you might already be familiar with this event or even be following your favorite new startup. So, let’s get straight to the point and highlight some of the exciting products geared toward seniors that are worth keeping an eye on.
