While every senior living community is unique, the care managers who oversee these facilities are often faced with similar challenges – and can fall victim to the same misconceptions. And, with the elderly population poised to balloon in the years to come, it's essential for these professionals to put themselves and their employees in the best possible position to attract new clientele and accommodate the influx without sacrificing quality of care.

There is one widely held misconception, however, that may keep many care managers from truly making the most of their resources.

My care recipients can't adapt

The burgeoning field of telecare has the potential to revolutionize residential care facilities and independent living services, empowering care managers in these fields to provide continual monitoring for all of their care recipients without overburdening their current personnel or taking on new staff. However, these professional may be reluctant to introduce these innovations based on the belief that the elderly individuals they care for will not be able to adapt to the change, either because they struggle with new technologies or simply reject them. This idea, though ultimately stemming for innate concern for the elderly community, underestimates both the willingness of older Americans to embrace innovation and the advancements in intuitive eldercare technology.
