Senior living is entering an unprecedented period of demand, but operators are also facing persistent labor challenges, tight margins, and technology systems that often haven't kept pace with the complexity of the business. In this special of Bridge the Gap, Lucas joins Kyle Gardner of NIC MAP and Jessie Lucci of AllieHealth to explore whether senior living is actually ready for the next wave of technology and AI.

The conversation covers rising senior housing occupancy, the coming wave of demand from aging baby boomers, constrained new construction, workforce competition, technology adoption, and the importance of building tools that genuinely solve operators' most urgent problems.
