K4Connect and Zinnia Partner to Enhance Resident Engagement through Research-Driven Wellness Content

K4Connect partners with Zinnia to bring calming video content for residents with Alzheimer’s and related dementias, all in the K4TV and Plus App experience.

K4Connect, a leading provider of enterprise technologies for senior living, partners with Zinnia, a purpose-driven, research-based content gateway designed to create moments of joy and connection for those living with Alzheimer's and related Dementias’. The partnership will be powered by K4Connect K4TV, released earlier this year.

“At K4Connect, we designed K4TV to be more than just a streaming platform, it’s a purposeful tool to enrich the lives of residents and support the staff and family who care for them. Partnering with Zinnia aligns perfectly with that vision. Their research-driven, dementia-friendly content brings comfort, engagement, and moments of joy to residents, while also giving caregivers a valuable resource to foster connection and ease daily routines. This collaboration is a meaningful step forward in delivering thoughtful, tech-enabled care in senior living communities,” said Jonathan Gould, Co-Founder and CTO of K4Connect.

K4TV, released in April 2025, was developed to create an efficient all-in-one engagement hub for residents of senior living communities. It can transform any TV into a gateway of tailor-made content, including integrations like Zinnia.

“At Zinnia, our mission has always been to create therapeutic, dementia-friendly content that brings moments of calm, purpose, and connection into the lives of older adults and their caregivers,” said Bill Uniowski, CEO and co-founder of Zinnia. “Partnering with K4Connect, and integrating via K4TV, is a natural extension of our vision. K4TV places our research-driven, slow‑paced programming directly into senior living living rooms through a platform designed for ease of use, safety, and engagement. Together, we’re empowering communities to deliver meaningful content where it matters most.”

How Senior Living Communities Use K4TV & Zinnia to Enrich Resident Life

Senior living communities can seamlessly incorporate K4TV + Zinnia into daily routines to boost engagement, ease care delivery, and reinforce community wellness:

Unified infotainment meets dementia‑friendly content

Teams can integrate Zinnia’s slow‑paced, therapeutic video library directly into K4TV’s hospitality‑style, FusionOS‑powered interface, giving residents easy access to nature walks, sing‑alongs, hydration prompts, and more alongside daily menus, announcements, and livestreamed events.

Automated programming saves staff time

By scheduling Zinnia content for key moments, like pre‑meal calm, afternoon relaxation, or bedtime wind‑downs, staff can reduce manual programming, freeing time for personalized care while residents enjoy a consistent, soothing media experience.

Mood‑boosting content that enhances community connection

Playing Zinnia videos in lounges or individual rooms can stimulate conversation (“Look at that waterfall!”), ease transitions during daily routines, and foster emotional connections, with benefits especially pronounced for those with memory concerns.

Scalable wellness integration

Apartment‑wide or community‑broad broadcasts via K4TV can reinforce research‑backed wellness cues, like hydration reminders, bedtime routines, or mindfulness sessions, with gentle visuals that support both individual and group routines.
