Technology in assisted living isn’t just an administrative tool—it underpins every aspect of resident safety and satisfaction. Facilities commonly face:

Compliance & Cybersecurity

• HIPAA, HITECH, and state-level privacy laws that demand rigorous protection of resident data

• Constant threat of ransomware, phishing, and insider breaches targeting sensitive health records

• Secure remote access for clinicians, administrators, and families

System Reliability & Uptime

• Electronic health records (EHR), nurse-call, and medication systems that must be available 24/7

• Lapses in support that disrupts resident care and undermines family trust

• Backup gaps—nightly or weekly backups may not protect live clinical documentation

Integration with Other Software & Hardware

• Multiple platforms—EHR, pharmacy, building automation, nurse-call, and family-communication apps—that need to work together

• Manual data entry between disconnected systems, increasing risk of error in resident care

Cost & Vendor Management

• Rising subscription and licensing costs for medical and administrative software

• Hidden IT expenses for emergency fixes or after-hours support

• Vendor sprawl—different providers for hosting, email, EHR, and security create finger-pointing when issues arise

User & Family Experience

• Staff requiring quick onboarding and secure, intuitive access to clinical applications

• Families expecting reliable portals for health updates and communications

• Slow or clunky systems that frustrate caregivers and loved ones alike

Responsiveness & Support

• Critical issues can occur at any hour—especially in 24/7 care environments

• Break-fix IT models leave facilities waiting when immediate action is essential

• Limited in-house IT teams stretched across multiple locations

These challenges can strain staff, expose resident data, and compromise the quality of care.
