Keystone Technologies has published a guide to help senior living organizations plan for their future information technology requirements. The e-book, “Building the IT Infrastructure for Tomorrow’s Senior Living Communities,” is available for free download.

“Today’s burgeoning senior population is tech-savvy and determined to stay independent,” Andy Belval, president and CEO of Keystone Technologies, said in a statement. “Senior living organizations that haven’t made the improvements necessary to provide these needs may face declining resident retention and occupancy rates. Proactively planning for these anticipated technological needs will be much less expensive than attempting makeshift solutions in the future.”

The e-book offers guidance on how senior living facilities can develop an IT roadmap. It also contains a checklist with:

  • 13 questions senior living executives should ask before embarking on a major IT infrastructure investment.
  • Network infrastructure requirements, including cabling, firewalls, routers and wireless access points.
  • Server requirements for in-house servers, cloud environments and end-user devices.
