The May 2024 e-book by Polina Braunstein, Kevin Harris, and Luke Waidmann from McKnights Senior Living examines how Real-Time Location Services (RTLS) improve safety, security, and operational efficiency in senior living communities. RTLS solutions, integrated with wearables, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, enable precise location tracking of residents and staff, minimizing response times and enhancing care coordination. The technology streamlines administrative tasks, reduces staff workload, and improves overall resident experience. These systems are integral to smart building environments, promoting seamless integration with IoT devices, enhancing connectivity, and enabling real-time data-driven decision-making.
