Striped Rock, LLC Unveils the new S.P.I.N & SeniorsEngage.com

With great excitement, Striped Rock, LLC will launch a brand new S.P.I.N. website along with SeniorsEngage, which is a new Senior-Friendly site for Seniors and Caregivers. S.P.I.N. and SeniorsEngage has the latest technology with an extremely user friendly format for all devices.

The new website features easy access to archives and event calendars and a very user friendly system to subscribe and post events, education, jobs and news & developments for either S.P.I.N or SeniorsEngage.

S.P.I.N was the first of its kind in the state of South Carolina, launching in the Upstate in 2006 and expanding into 3 of the 4 All About Seniors Resource and Referral Directory markets. It has become the go-to communication tool for the senior industry.
