“If someone is forgetful, it doesn’t mean that they need to go

“If someone is forgetful, it
doesn’t mean that they need
to go to memory care,” states Manfredo. “It means, ‘How can we take advantage of the technologies
that are out there to keep them where they are and keep them safe?’ If Alexa can tell you, ‘It’s 10:00,
and it’s time to take your medication,’ it’s a lot better than having the person go to the next stage of
care or even bringing in care.”
As providers prepare to welcome what is sure to be a transformative decade, Manfredo is eager to hit
the ground running on Jan. 1 st – equipped with a new appreciation for the community’s who, what
and why as well as a desire to explore new paths.
“Everyone at Sunset Wood is very excited for what the future holds,” Manfredo reveals. “It’s probably
the most exciting time to be in senior living – not just here, but in the industry all over.”
