Starting September 11, 2023, applicants will no longer use the Department of Health's credentialing process. Instead, they will directly register and pay for exams through Prometric. After submitting their credentialing applications to the Department of Health, applicants will receive email notifications from Prometric to schedule their exams. While English language exam applicants can self-schedule and pay online, those requiring interpreters or special accommodations will still require assistance from a Prometric advocate. The Department of Health will provide training resources, including guides and videos for the new scheduling process, with a voucher system for bulk payments. Prometric's webpage will have updated information as the transition to direct scheduling approaches.

A survey conducted by Essence SmartCare and Kantar has revealed that about 70% of older adults aging in place in the UK and France lack access to "advanced" monitoring systems, such as fall detection sensors and voice-activated alerts. The survey, which polled family members of elderly residents, highlights the stress and concerns faced by caregivers who are unable to monitor their parents effectively. Many respondents, slightly over half, live more than an hour away from their elderly relatives. A similar poll in the US last year also showed that 45% of respondents lived at least an hour's drive away from their extended family. Research indicates that monitoring systems can effectively reduce emergencies and healthcare visits, but the availability and quality of monitoring systems can vary significantly based on region and care setting.
