Connected Living, a Quincy-based company helps connect senior citizens to the Internet and help them stay connected to the world around them, said Wednesday that it acquired Tethered LLC, a mobile app development startup with offices in California, Colorado and Nevada.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Connected Living CEO Sarah Hoit said the combined company will have 150 employees, with about 60 of those full time. Hoit said the acquisiton would give Connected Living a leg-up when it comes to development of apps for wearable devices, smartwatches and phones to connect senior citizens and their families.
Connected Living, which offers a closed social network for seniors, is currently available at "hundreds" of senior living properties in 36 states across the country. Hoit said the platform has about 60,000 users, which includes seniors and their families.
