Is Senior Living Ready for AI Technology? | Signal Debut Pt. 1

Senior living is entering an unprecedented period of demand, but operators are also facing persistent labor challenges, tight margins, and technology systems that often haven't kept pace with the complexity of the business. In this special of Bridge the Gap, Lucas joins Kyle Gardner of NIC MAP and Jessie Lucci of AllieHealth to explore whether senior living is actually ready for the next wave of technology and AI.
