Price before paid work
Starting a request is free. If an unknown computer or device problem needs diagnosis, Potent confirms the $39.99 diagnostic first and credits it toward a completed approved repair.
Resident Technology Programs
Technology Q&A Sessions for Senior Living Communities
Give residents a comfortable place to bring the technology questions that keep coming up. Potent Technology can host scheduled open forums where residents submit questions ahead of time or bring them to the session, then work through common phone, computer, email, Wi-Fi, printer, streaming, account, and scam-safety issues in plain English.

Before Work Begins
No guessing about the next step
Approval before extras
No surprise parts, subscriptions, purchases, or expanded work above what you approved. If the scope changes, Potent stops and confirms the next step first.
30-day covered labor guarantee
If the same covered issue returns because of Potent's labor or workmanship within 30 days, Potent will re-evaluate it and correct covered labor when appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Can residents send their questions before the session?
Yes. That is encouraged. The activity team can collect questions ahead of time so Potent can organize the session around what residents actually want help with while still leaving room for live questions.
What kinds of questions can residents bring?
Typical topics include phones, tablets, computers, email, photos, Wi-Fi, printers, streaming devices, online accounts, software, backups, suspicious messages, scam concerns, and general how-do-I-do-this questions.
Is this a lecture or hands-on help?
It can be either, but the usual format is interactive. Potent can explain a topic to the group, answer individual questions, demonstrate common steps, and help residents understand what to do next.
Can you help one resident after the group session?
Yes, if the community wants to include a one-on-one help block or if the resident schedules separate service. Scope and pricing are confirmed before additional paid work begins.
Do you become the community's IT department?
No. Resident technology programs are separate from facility infrastructure, clinical systems, managed IT, compliance, and employee support. Potent can coordinate with staff when a resident issue clearly belongs to the facility's existing IT provider.
Can this be a recurring activity?
Yes. A community can schedule a one-time session or bring Potent back periodically if residents find the program useful. There is no need to commit to an ongoing contract just to try the format.
