The baseline for resident experience has shifted from cable TV to a hospitality-like, connected environment. According to Chris Nall, chief technology officer at Atria Senior Living, residents now expect dynamic in-room experiences. With high-speed Wi-Fi now a given, the opportunity is in layering connected devices, from voice assistants to Best Buy Health’s Lively solutions, to create a more seamless, engaging experience for residents who are already comfortable with smartphones and tablets.

The industry has evolved from evaluating individual capabilities like fall detection to asking a broader question: what delivers a true 360-degree view of residents and operations? As Lauren Horn, managing director of wellness integration at Arrow Senior Living, explains, COVID accelerated this shift by turning technology into a trust bridge when families could no longer be onsite. Today, the priority is enabling proactive visibility and communication, not just reactive updates.

Today’s seniors are not new to technology.

They’ve lived through the shift to smartphones, video conferencing, and connected devices. But many senior living environments are still operating behind that curve, according to Chris Nall, chief technology officer at Atria Senior Living. He estimates the industry is roughly 15–20 years behind hospitality in how it designs experience and personalization. As a result, there is a growing opportunity to rethink what “community” and “care experience” should look like.

Technology alone doesn't create successful enabling technology programs.

The best programs don't just provide devices; they create a complete experience that helps members achieve meaningful outcomes. Based on our experience supporting Medicaid enabling technology programs, there are five key elements that consistently drive success:
- Person-centered assessments to understand each member's unique needs and goals
- Care team education so staff can confidently identify opportunities and recommend the right solutions
- Operational readiness with streamlined ordering, fulfillment, and logistics that create a seamless member experience
- Installation and ongoing support to help members feel confident using their technology long after it's delivered
- Measurement and outcomes tracking to demonstrate member impact, satisfaction, and program ROI

When these components work together, organizations can improve adoption, support greater independence, and build sustainable programs that deliver value for both members and health plans.

Watch this two-minute clip as Best Buy Health’s Olivia Adams shares the foundational elements every organization should consider when building or expanding an enabling technology program. To learn more, watch the full webinar (https://hubs.la/Q04nB-fQ0) now!
