Forbes, March 1, 2021. We have seen a rapid increase in the adoption of technology by Americans over the age of 65, and as prospects seek retirement communities, they’ll look for those that offer the latest technology, giving them comfort and peace of mind. Developers, owners and managers of communities need to be ready to answer the demand.

The senior living business is currently experiencing several pain points that have been heightened by the pandemic, including:
* Lower occupancy in apartments
* Harder to find & retain qualified staff
* Continuing isolation of residents
* Manage expenses in light of declining revenue
* Ability to reengage family members of residents

What will be the source of pain relief?
