Bob Kramer is right
As the general manager of NOTIFY, I’ve been a longtime supporter of the Senior Living Innovation Forum (SLIF) and its work bringing together senior housing leaders interested in improving our industry.
SLIF recently published an interview with Bob Kramer, the founder of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC), and his comments on both the short- and long-term impact of COVID-19 struck a chord with me.
“There will not come a time when we will return to the old normal,” said Kramer. “The speed and depth of the disruption in healthcare, senior care and the broader economy due to COVID-19 is a transformational moment. Changes that I thought would take years have occurred in a matter of weeks. The genie is out of the bottle and efforts to put it back will not be successful.”
Powerful stuff from an industry vet and, yet, he’s completely right: COVID-19’s disruptive potential should not be underestimated.
In fact, it’s the very reason why I’ve been so determined to get solutions into the hands of our customers right away.
