Though senior living organizations are not hotels, providers can learn a lot from the hospitality sector, observes Scott Code, vice president of LeadingAge's Center for Aging Services Technologies (CAST). Hotels are striving to better understand guest preferences and use data, technology and staff coordination to make service feel more responsive and seamless. Incorporating examples from CAST case studies, he shares how some providers are applying tech tools to improve resident experience and personalize engagement—and points out resources to help members interested in improving their current approach: https://leadingage.org/from-guest-experience-to-resident-experience-what-aging-services-can-learn-from-hospitality/
