The transformative role of AI in senior health care
Carr, who began her journey in senior care in 2009, initially lacked healthcare experience but developed a deep commitment to improving residents’ quality of life.
Today, Avendelle employs AI tools such as Freed AI Scribe, MyPlan, and ChatGPT to revolutionize care delivery. Freed AI Scribe streamlines documentation, reducing hours of paperwork into minutes, allowing caregivers to spend more time interacting with residents. MyPlan generates customized care plans based on data insights, while ChatGPT assists in identifying potential health risks and suggesting tailored interventions.
Beyond enhancing care delivery, AI reduces administrative burdens, improves internal communication, and fosters transparency with families. Real-time updates and proactive health monitoring ensure families remain informed about their loved ones’ well-being.
Carr emphasizes that the key to successful AI integration lies in gradual implementation, staff training, and clear communication. Staff members, initially hesitant about AI, now view it as an essential tool that supports—rather than replaces—their roles.
Looking ahead, Carr envisions AI playing an even larger role in predictive care planning, early health issue detection, and optimizing caregiver schedules. Her long-term goal is to develop an AI-powered platform providing families with up-to-date insights into their loved ones’ emotional and physical health.
Incorporating AI into senior health care isn’t about replacing human connections—it’s about strengthening them. With thoughtful implementation, tools like Freed AI Scribe and MyPlan can transform senior care facilities into smarter, more compassionate spaces where technology and humanity work hand in hand to deliver exceptional care.
