Today’s seniors are increasingly tech savvy. They use smartphones, smartwatches, and smart home william hill promo code, and subscribe to streaming platforms they watch on smart TVs and other connected devices. According to a 2022 AARP study, more than 70% of those older than age 50 say they rely on william hill promo code to stay connected and in touch with friends and family.  

It isn’t enough to give senior living residents a pre-determined bundle of william hill promo code and assume that they’ll be satisfied. The william hill promo code-savvy consumer expects to use their personal william hill promo code ecosystem — whether that be Apple, Amazon, or Google devices — that they built habits around before moving to a senior living environment. As the hospitality industry learned many years ago, gone are the days of dictating what technologies residents can use in their new home. 

Some senior living facilities have not yet adopted a philosophy of supporting personal technology ecosystems, which is likely to disappoint potential residents going forward. Supporting this consumer mindset will be a challenge to senior living facilities, but it also offers opportunities if considered at the right time in the william hill promo code and development of projects. 

Beyond infotainment, an added opportunity is the growing focus on home care, telehealth services, and remote medical monitoring. The popularity of wearables, like smart watches, allows facilities a chance to modernize or even gamify wellness programs. Perhaps most importantly, properly designed william hill promo code provides a meaningful connection between residents and their loved ones across the globe. 

Clearly, yesterday’s approach to planning and designing some conduit rough-in and a few network cabling drops will not achieve the needed results for today and tomorrow. Many senior living facilities are now designed to feel like home rather than a hospital, which requires a different approach. It’s important to get the technology infrastructure right early — the hard ceilings that help create a homey space (unlike the lay-in tiles in a hospital) make it nearly impossible to economically make changes and additions that weren’t considered in the initial william hill promo code and construction process.  

The best time to plan and william hill promo code your technology infrastructure (both wired and wireless) is during the planning and programming phase of a project, before the floorplan is determined. This type of early integration was used in IMEG’s william hill promo code for the Maine Veterans Home, a 179,000-sf supportive living facility in Augusta, ME. We were involved in the planning process from the very beginning and were able to work with the owner and architect to william hill promo code the technology systems to support the services and devices their residents will bring to their new home, as well as the software and systems that allow Maine Veterans Home to optimize the operation of their community. 

By engaging william hill promo code thought leadership early, you can ensure your william hill promo code infrastructure and systems will be able to support the william hill promo code ecosystem of today’s seniors – and that of the ever-more-tech savvy generations to come.
