For communities & partners
A community is more than where people live. It’s what they create together.
Every community already runs something. Choose yours to see what Longtable adds to it, and how little it asks of your team.
Choose your kind of community
- For active adult communitiesA place to live. A community to create.
- For retirement communitiesA community where everyone has something to share.
- For villagesMore ways for members to make village life their own.
- For builders and developersYou build the community. Residents bring it to life.
Pictures are illustrative.
What it asks of your team
Very little. Longtable is built so the circles run themselves.
| Your team | Longtable |
|---|---|
| Make the introduction — at a meeting, in the newsletter, at a club fair. | Sets up your community’s own page, under your name and colors. |
| Point anyone who wants help our way. | Introduces it to residents in person or online, and helps anyone who wants to get started. |
| Nothing to run week to week. | Carries the dates, the reminders and who is coming, for every circle. |
| Nothing to rescue when a leader steps back. | Another member takes it on, and the circle keeps going. |
How it starts
A conversation
Tell us about your community — who it serves, and what people already enjoy doing together.
A page of your own
A page under your name and colors, invitation links you control, and circles private to your residents by default.
An introduction
We introduce Longtable to residents in person or online, at a time that suits you.
Circles begin
Residents start the circles they want, and invite their neighbors.
What it costs
Basic membership is free, and any resident can try full membership free — circles and Share & Learn included — before deciding anything. After that, each resident can take a membership of their own, or the community can join as a whole, at a reduced rate for everyone.
Other organizations
Not a residential community? Here’s how Longtable can help yours:
- Senior centers and libraries: a room for a circle to meet, and a word to the people who already come.
- Area Agencies on Aging: a place to point people who want neighbors with the same interests.
- Retiree associations and alumni groups: your members already share a history. Circles give them a reason to meet every week, not once a year.
- Employers: for people about to retire, the company that work used to provide, and a way to keep in touch with colleagues they already know.
