Senior Care Trends: From Communities to Aging in Place – and Back Again 

By the end of 2020, occupancy in senior living communities had fallen – represented by move-outs and delayed move-ins. Families brought residents home to keep them safe from COVID-19 – and move-ins were halted or delayed, either due to facilities’ own decisions or family reluctance to place their loved ones into these communities. However, as the 65+ population continues to grow, the senior community occupancy rebound is underway. 

This white paper by senior care advocate, Laurie Orlov, examines the state of the industry today, diving into evolving definitions of what “aging-in-place” means, how senior care options differ, the overall competitive landscape, and how addressing hearing loss can be a critical differentiator in this new marketplace for senior care professionals.

FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. Automatic speech recognition software generates captions of what the other party to the call says, and, in certain circumstances, a live communications assistant may be included on the call to make needed corrections and/or add call details. The captions are then sent to the phone. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund. To learn more, visit fcc.gov.
