“Peter has the expertise and understanding of how to leverage cutting-edge technology to produce the highest possible clinical outcomes and, more importantly, a better quality of life for community residents, patients and the families Sentrics serves,” said Periscope Equity Partner, Steve Jarmel. “His industry background and experience will be critical to navigating an increasingly complex healthcare landscape. We look forward to working with Peter to continue Sentrics’ acquisition strategy, seeking forward-thinking safety, voice, data analytics and engagement technology and service providers looking to bring transformational change to the senior living industry.”
The 80-year-old+ demographic will be the fastest growing age group in the U.S. over the next 10 years, highlighting the need to deliver higher quality and lower cost care. As senior living converges with the healthcare ecosystem, Sentrics is uniquely positioned to capitalize on technology and data to improve the lives of residents, their families and senior living community operators.
“Technology continues to play an increasingly important role helping communities, caregivers and providers improve quality of life and outcomes of the senior population, allowing them to live with the independence and dignity that they deserve,” said Bailey. “Our rapidly expanding ability to inform decisions based upon social, clinical, physical and behavioral details improves resident and family experience, clinical outcomes, and community efficiencies. Moving forward, we are focused on growth, bringing our comprehensive engagement offering to additional populations across the country.”
