Susheel Ladwa: Linda, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to us. We really appreciate it. To start with, tell us about yourself, your career journey so far to being the Director of Information Systems at Sun Health Senior Living.
LeadingAge CAST had an opportunity to interview Jack York, Co-Founder/President at It’s Never 2 Late. Jack is passionate about improving the quality of life for older adults, by enriching their lives through technology that makes it easier to connect with family and friends, while also enhancing their feelings of independence.
Majd Alwan, Ph.D., LeadingAge Senior Vice President of Technology and CAST Executive Director, has updated an issue brief on Aging Services Technologies (ASTs) for Grantmakers In Aging (GIA). GIA's Issue Brief series offers valuable information to help funders respond to the transformational aging of the American population.
LeadingAge CAST has released a new CAST Technology Selection Tool, on Safety Technology for Long-Term and Post-Acute Care. The portfolio is intended to help LeadingAge members and other aging services organizations understand the range, uses, and benefits of safety technologies. It also will help providers plan for, select, and implement the technology solutions that best fit their requirements.
LeadingAge spoke up for nursing homes on several fronts during September 2018. We also supported members in the path of Hurricane Florence; continued our advocacy around workforce, home health, housing, and Medicare payments; and released a variety of resources to help members do their work.
