AI adoption among older adults is rising quickly, more than doubling in just one year. The digital story, however, is more complex than just increased usage.

Take a look at the takeaways and marketing implications that stood out to us.
In the coming years, dramatic demographic shifts will deeply impact the senior living industry, affecting technology, services and housing options.
