Designing Technology Solutions for Optimal Outcomes: How to Successfully Incorporate Technology Into Senior Living New Builds and Renovations

December 6 | 3-4pm ET | 1 AIA LU/HSW


Description
Too often Senior Living communities find themselves stuck between the desire to add new and innovative technologies and the reality that their building infrastructure is outdated and cannot support the latest in technology trends. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted these gaps as technology became a "must have" solution instead of a "nice to have" option. The planful use of technology to solve current and future challenges will help operators realize gains in staffing efficiency, resident care outcomes, and provide options for future tech deployments. The key to current and ongoing success depends on the ability to design, specify and deploy technology-rich environments that seamlessly blend interior design form with technology function.
