Don’t just use AI. Use it right.
Generative AI is here, and it’s not going anywhere. But if you're a senior care marketer—or anyone working in a complex, highly specific industry—tools like GPT-4 aren’t magic wands. They’re only as helpful as the way you use them.
GPT-4 isn’t a strategist, an original thinker, or a plug-and-play content machine. It’s more like a fast, confident intern with access to an enormous pile of notes. Useful? Absolutely. But only if you guide it well.
That means using AI to support your process, not replace it. Have a great webinar? AI can help you turn it into a blog post or a series of social posts. Need a quick definition or a starting point for a glossary? AI can save you time. Want to rewrite the same story for different audiences—senior care execs, referral partners, prospective residents? Let AI give you a first draft, then refine from there.
But what you don’t want is to ask for 2,000 words of thought leadership and expect brilliance. AI doesn’t know your audience, your brand, or your industry like you do. It can’t anticipate compliance risks or capture the emotional nuance behind a family’s decision to move a loved one into memory care. That level of understanding still requires a human.
The key to getting useful output starts with your prompt. Think of it like a mini brief: clear task, defined audience, tone, and purpose. “What is respite care?” is a very different ask than: “Write two friendly, jargon-free sentences explaining respite care to a family caregiver who is feeling overwhelmed.” The more you give, the more you get.
Used right, AI can make your workflow faster and more efficient. A few great use cases:
Just start small. Build piece by piece. Feed it your real-world examples or customer language to ground the results in your brand’s truth. Then, of course, edit with intention.
Yes, you can scale content faster this way. But resist the urge to crank out a hundred bland SEO pages. If you're creating content for search, every page still needs to offer value—not just a definition, but an example, a resource, a reason to stay. Otherwise, you’re just adding to the noise.
AI won’t replace your team, your voice, or your judgment. But it can help you work smarter, especially when you’re short on time, staff, or budget. And in a field like senior care—where trust matters more than clicks—that’s a meaningful win. Contact us today!
