“ We ’ re a 20-minute drive away from Manhattan , so they can go to Broadway and see a show , or go to a restaurant .”
Of course , the huge healthcare benefit to all of this is that , while River ’ s Edge offers independent living , residents are entitled to care services for the rest of their lives , whether it be a shift to assisted living , short-term rehabilitation or something more complex .
It ’ s all part of the insurance-apartment concept offered by RiverSpring .
“ As a resident ’ s health declines over time they may not be able to live independently in their apartment , so they can move to our assisted living building for the same fee ,” adds Finkelstein . “ And , as their health declines towards end-of-life , they can come into the nursing home .
“ We have a longitudinal record , so we know each resident ’ s likes and dislikes , how they work , their medications and medical history , so we can treat them better and help them for the rest of their lives .”
Harnessing the power of AI and robotics Clearly , it would be remiss of RiverSpring Living – not to mention its technology function – to neglect considering how groundbreaking technologies like AI , machine learning and robotics can be used to improve operations and , most importantly , patient care .
Finkelstein is keen to mention that , when the company first embarked on its digital transformation journey , a conscious decision was made to hire a full-time project manager with a nursing background to ensure technological advancements are embedded and incorporated into day-to-day operations .
Proof of this can be seen in a project aimed at reducing rehabilitation time among residents following major surgery ,
