116. A Smarter Way to Approach AI with Amber & Matt

Amber and Matt are back with a big update for 2026. In this episode of Raising Tech, they unpack what’s really happening with AI in senior living and why so many communities are still struggling to apply it in a meaningful way.

The conversation covers the realities operators are facing today: fragmented systems, untrusted data, shadow AI usage, and pressure from boards and leadership to “do something with AI” without a clear plan. Matt and Amber dive into why AI isn’t a magic fix on its own, how poor data and disconnected software limit its impact, and what needs to change for AI to actually work in senior living environments.

They also announce Parasol Alliance’s newest service: the AI Readiness Assessment and Roadmap. Modeled after Parasol’s proven technology assessments and strategic roadmaps, this new offering helps organizations understand where they are today, where AI can realistically fit, and how to move forward with confidence.
