State of IT in Senior Living: Benchmarking at The Gathering

Senior living leaders are making high-stakes technology decisions around cybersecurity, AI, staffing models, and systems modernization. Yet most are doing so without clear peer benchmarks

At The Gathering, Parasol Alliance is conducting a 10-minute executive micro-interview to capture how organizations are running IT today and what they are prioritizing over the next 12–18 months

What We’ll Cover

  • IT operating model and staffing approach

  • Core systems including EHR, ERP, HRIS, CRM, BI, and collaboration tools

  • Cyber readiness including MFA, EDR, backups, and managed monitoring

  • AI readiness and current use cases

  • Top three technology priorities and biggest blockers

What You’ll Receive

Participants will receive access to:

  • A co-branded, anonymized Insights Report with benchmark ranges, trends, and practical takeaways

  • A 1–2 page executive summary designed for board-level discussion

  • Optional webinar with findings and next steps

All reporting is fully anonymized and aggregated. Participation is opt-in with clear usage boundaries

Let’s build better benchmarks. Let’s strengthen leadership together.

Our Vision

Transforming Technology Culture in Senior Living

This means shifting the way senior living communities think about, implement, and utilize technology. Instead of treating IT as just a support function or a necessary expense, this transformation encourages organizations to see technology as a strategic asset that enhances operations, resident care, and staff efficiency. It also involves changing the way leadership approaches technology, ensuring executives and decision-makers view it as a critical component of their long-term strategy, investment planning, and overall organizational success.
