Most core tasks, such as personal care, mobility assistance, and communication with residents and families, require physical presence, empathy, and nuanced judgment, making them resistant to automation. Some routine and documentation tasks can be augmented or partially automated with digital tools, but the overall risk remains low due to the human-centric nature of the role.
