Read about Senior Citizenville and what's happening today. A senior citizen and a resident of Senior Citizenville, I ask if you are ready for what is happening and what is to come.
Hello, Hello,
As we get closer to the holidays, I wanted to wish everyone a fabulous time with loved ones. Time to make memories. Enjoy your moments and be spectacular doing it. Happy Holidays.
I want to share what’s happening in Senior Citizenville, where I live, South Florida. This is the time of year when snowbirds, part-time residents, flock to the area. Snowbirds are senior citizens from the north, New York, New Jersey, Canada, etc. Their families come down for the holidays and beach weather. A joyous season.
Behind the scenes, Senior Citizenville is big business. Housing for senior citizens alone can be more than they can afford but a necessary expenditure. There are 55+ communities where senior citizens may get a break on costs but then added H.O.A. fees and other costs that fluctuate are an issue.
My mother recently entered an assisted living residence. As a family member, it was an experience seeing the business side of residing in this type of residence.
Blockchain can fix the hidden high costs and much more in Senior Citizenville. The cost of living and the rising amount of senior citizens needing healthcare will only grow in time. It is reported that 1 in 5 adults will be 65 or older by the year 2030{Consensus Bureau2024}.
There are real estate companies that use blockchain for business, purchases, mortgages on chain. The terms are clear and agreed upon, and will not change, immutable contract. Blockchain technology is imperative for senior citizens transitioning into different levels of care. There are different aspects to consider when looking at senior citizen housing in Senior Citizenville.
Doctors are using blockchain technology in a variety of ways. Logistically, the blockchain alleviates problems with data pertaining to appointments, referrals, accuracy to medications, and more. A.I. agents assist in communicating accurate data in a timely fashion. Blockchain not only enhances accuracy but efficiency of healthcare workers. They have more quality time to spend with patients.
Blockchain for healthcare finances and treatment are another category for senior citizens to consider. The transparency of the blockchain alleviates questions of insurance costs, care, hospital charges, policy benefits and puts the control in the hands of the senior citizen. Being aware and empowered, knowing what level of care and the costs can only ease the burden that senior citizens face.
Documents are plentiful in the world of Senior Citizenville. If there isn’t a trusted family member or friend, it is difficult to trust the quality of care received is what is being said or promised in writing. Being empowered is vital for the quality of care received.
[JUST FOR REFERENCE:
I am 64 years old and I am an avid user of Perplexity A.I. and Claude {GPTs}. I input any documents, articles or papers I need simplified. The average senior citizen doesn’t do that. The average loved one, family member caring for a senior citizen doesn’t do that].
The “senior citizen industry” can only benefit from blockchain technology. Protections by transparent, immutable contracts are something to be considered as more people enter the world of Senior Citizenville.
As technology advances in healthcare, real estate, and finances, it is useful to consider staying current with what is available today for preventative measures and stay ahead of the curve tomorrow in the field of healthcare and housing.
Blockchain fixes many things in everyday business. It can be considered the fix to what is coming, what is inevitable, the exponential explosion of senior citizen population and the crisis of the healthcare industry that may follow.
When I started Onboard60, it was to learn how to put senior citizen documents on chain, before it was a reality. Today we can do just that. There are medical record companies, real estate companies, hospitals, doctors and insurance companies that use blockchain technology.
Diving deep down into different rabbit holes the past few years has prepared me for the questions and puzzled looks. I recently started working with a few people one on one easing them through their “doing it scared” phase, letting them know most days, I’m still winging it doing it scared.
We talk of the initial language barrier to the web3 space, the feelings of being overwhelmed and being open to asking questions. I let them know it’s their journey and it’s done on their time, no one else, as people have said to me, we are early.
The technology that will increase the quality of care for senior citizens has just begun. Now is the time to learn, become aware and get on board.
Be fabulous,
And stay up to date
for your own sake
and your loved ones,

P.S. Today’s tech & more for senior citizens:
I haven’t touched upon the wearable technology that can better the quality of a senior citizen’s life, any age for that matter. This technology can not only create a sense of assurance for the family member or loved one but keeps the senior citizen safe in real time.
I have been using different wearable technology and repurposing them for my needs as a senior citizen. I have a ring that is for my vitals. It monitors my sleep, activity and stress level, heart rate and blood pressure. I believe this technology can be connected to a contact that can act on the wearers behalf if a medical emergency arises.
Motion sensors for senior citizens prone to falls.
There are geolocation RFID chips that can be used for Alzheimer patients. The near field communication chip I wear in a bracelet can have medical, emergency contact for people to tag with their phone. I use it for my resume and links.
