Though eldercare professionals can testify that this industry has long been beleaguered by budgetary restraints and staff shortages, these issues may become all the more problematic as the Baby Boomer generation and their parents transition to senior living homes and at-home eldercare. As such, it is essential for care managers and elderly Americans alike to embrace the new wave of technological innovations that has surfaced in recent years.
However, though advancements like remote monitoring could substantially benefit care managers by enabling them to track multiple recipients, these professionals may have reservations about incorporating this technology.
Hurdles to Adoption
Care managers could view telecare solutions as yet another thing to have to master – and, in turn, to teach their staff of caregivers to use. In addition, they could understandably fear that more technologically averse care recipients might struggle and feel overwhelmed by the change.

That is precisely why Independa's technology-enabled eldercare solutions were designed to work via a device that care managers, caregivers and care recipients of all ages are familiar with – the television. With Independa, elderly individuals living in residence or aging in place can easily contact loved ones via video chat, Facebook and email, and have one-touch access to medical reminders, health information and more through their LG televisions.
