CarePatrol of Western Michigan - Capital Region’s Post

Open any newspaper and you’ll see coverage of senior care presented in an unbelievably negative light. While that confirms the worldview of the keyboard warriors and cubicle-dwelling bureaucrats, when I talk to those presently in senior care from coast to coast, I hear SUCH a different story. Far too often, we let those whose business models are built around cynicism control the narrative, sowing the seeds of mistrust, hatred and untruths. That’s why we started Tell Our Stories. We all know that nothing drives clicks like moral outrage, and without driving clicks, those in the press don’t get paid. Instead, we’re telling the REAL stories that go underreported… Stories of care, stories of quality, stories of happiness and stories of love. Our seniors and their caregivers deserve nothing less. Let’s all create this more optimistic, hopeful future together.

Can't replace the human here... 🤖👵 As someone immersed in the tech world, I've often championed the idea of technology replacing human. But, my perspective has changed dramatically when it comes to older adults. In our quest for innovation, we sometimes miss a crucial point: not every problem can be solved with high-tech. It’s honestly a lazy approach. This is especially true in the aging industry. Here, it's not just about solving the issue; part of the value is about understanding and connecting – a realm where tech alone falls short. Many in the tech haven't spent enough time understanding the unique needs and desires of older adults. This lack of deep engagement is perhaps why we don't see a lot of tech in this field. What we need in the aging industry is not technology that replaces humans but technology that enables them. It's about creating solutions that balance personal touch with efficiency – a challenging but fascinating endeavor. The question is how do you maintain personal touch at scale? Seniors, like all of us, desire quality service and efficient problem-solving. But they also highly value conversation and personal interaction. It's not just about the service; it's about the human connection. This is why building technology for older adults requires a cautious approach. It's not just about the tech; it's about how that tech integrates with and enhances human interaction. 👨💻👵 As we move forward, we need to focus on creating a harmonious blend of technology and human touch. This approach is not just beneficial; it's essential in an industry where personal connection is as important as the service provided. 💬 I invite you to join this conversation. How do you think we can best combine technology and human interaction in the aging industry? #seniorcare #seniorliving #techforsenior Huy Huynh Zach Davison Jonah West
