Owners and managers of assisted living facilities and retirement communities across the country are acutely aware that the industry has faced a series of challenges in recent years. The elderly population is growing rapidly, leading to increased demand at these residences, but the recent recession has necessitated spending cuts and dried up funding for the construction of new facilities or the improvement of existing ones.
An article in Senior Housing News detailed a number of trends, though, that will likely take hold in the coming years and allow the elder care industry to flourish and provide new services to its beneficiaries. We’ll cover these in detail in future blog posts, but as mentioned earlier, perhaps the greatest issue for these businesses has been a lack of funding to accommodate demand. However, there are cost-effective ways to improve services, as well as offer potential customers the opportunity to age in place until they can join an assisted living facility.
By investing in programs like Independa for your facility and providing future customers with the system, which can easily be installed in homes, you can avoid the need for constant renovations or the construction of new buildings and simultaneously lower your bottom line.
We bring telecare solutions to the home and the retirement community, providing care managers with the means to schedule reminders for medications and social events through our Caregiver Web App.
This revolutionary technology is fully integrated with a dedicated Samsung mobile device or LG TV, making it simple for care recipients to access and interact with the devices. If you’re interested in learning more about what Independa can offer for senior living scenarios, visit our contact us page to reach us via email.
