SENIOR LIVING INDUSTRY:
“Innovations, Technology, and the Future of Senior Living” Audiences: National and state senior living associations, senior living corporate and regional retreats, “aging” industry associations/consumer groups, real estate and senior living investors/developers. This nationally recognized presentation provides an overview of a worldwide aging population and the need for new models of housing to meet both the demographic and psychographic needs of today’s - and tomorrow’s “Boomer” – seniors. Discussion includes examples of innovative “Nana” technologies to address projected labor and resource challenges, as well as niche communities for different cultures, interests, and special needs populations. Learn why the “Collapse of the Three-Legged-Stool of Caregiving” will drive growth of the senior housing industry, and how the “Golden Triangle” should drive government and consumer policy in the years ahead. NICHE SENIOR LIVING AND SPECIALTY SERVICES: Best Practices and Innovations in Memory Care Community Design, Staffing, and Programming Audiences: National and state senior living associations, senior living corporate and regional retreats, Alzheimer’s and “aging” associations/consumer groups. More than 5 million Americans are afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia, with the number expected to increase to nearly 20 million in the next three decades, along with increasing consumer expectations for the highest quality housing and care. This presentation provides a review of key factors, evidence-based best practices, and new technologies that can be utilized to develop award-winning Memory Care environments focused on "Safe-Directional-Therapuetic" design. Learn how to ensure new projects are positioned for success or existing programs elevated to meet "Next Generation" standards in memory care for residents, families, and staff. University Based Retirement Communities: Not Your Grandparents Retirement Audiences: Academic Institutions, Academic Boards, Alumni Associations, Senior Living Developers/Operators/Managers. University Retirement Communities (URCs) represent one of the fastest growing niche’s for academic institutions, providing opportunities to address a changing demographic, invest in the highly profitable “aging Boomers” market, and achieve direct engagement of your most loyal and philanthropic alum. But what is a “URC” and is it right for your institution? In this presentation, the nation’s preeminent authority on university retirement communities will provide the information you need, including:
An Ounce of Prevention: Wellness Programming as “Good Business” Audiences: National and state senior living associations, senior living corporate and regional retreats, “aging” industry associations/consumer groups. Today’s retirees are stating clearly their interest in remaining active, fit, and intellectually stimulated throughout life. Review the latest studies on Wellness Programming in senior housing environments and how implementing and/or improving upon existing services can create a “Win/Win” for residents and the community’s bottom line. Learn how to implement a community-based "Resident Scholars Program" that integrates local university and other external learning and engagement programs into a full spectrum of lifelong learning and achievement focused opportunities for residents. TECHNOLOGY: “Nana” Technology: Is There A Robot In Your Future? Audiences: National and state senior living associations, senior living corporate and regional retreats, “aging” industry associations/consumer groups, technology associations. In 2004, Andrew Carle created both the definition and categories for “Nana” technology (technologies that can improve quality of life for seniors), for which he has received national and international recognition. Learn why Intel estimates a $5 Billion market just for the microchips needed to run such technologies, and how companies including Intel, HP, Philips, Toshiba, GE and others are developing “space age” technologies to meet the needs of a rapidly aging society. Includes review of both current and future technologies for health, safety, cognition, mobility, and whole home/integrated systems. Learn how Nana technologies can bridge the divide between “Geeks and Grans”, improve efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare and senior housing organizations, and address the critical shortage of long term care workers today and in the years ahead. “Brain Games”: Understanding Cognition Technologies Audiences: National and state senior living associations, senior living corporate and regional retreats, “aging” industry associations/consumer groups, technology associations. With aging populations, and new science showing the benefits of “exercise” for the brain, the market has been flooded with computer based products promising everything from better memory to calculator like skills. But which technologies are best and at what cost? In this presentation, learn about brain “plasticity” and review the most recent studies on brain wellness. Learn the “four categories” of brain technologies and the difference between a “brain game”, “brain gym”, “brain trainer”, and the next generation “brain systems” for application in the home or senior housing environments. MARKETING: Student “Mystery Shops” Teach Valuable Lessons Audiences: National and state senior living associations, senior living corporate and regional retreats, “aging” industry associations/consumer groups. At an overall value of more than $100,000 per move-in, senior housing providers should set the standard for how to turn a phone call into a sale. Yet, through nationally recognized “Mystery Shops” completed by students studying Senior Housing Administration at Georgetown University, learn how actual senior housing providers often come up short in the critical areas of “First Impression”, “Ability to Assess Need”, “Ability to Meet Need”, and “Closing”. Learn the mistakes made when Sales Rep’s resort to “iTunes" marketing” techniques such as “Play”, “Pause”, “Fast Forward” and “Shuffle”, and how to compare your own organizational performance to those found by the students - to reach your sales and occupancy goals. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP: The Role of Leadership in Organizational Mission, Culture, and Ethics Audiences: National and state senior living associations, senior living corporate and regional retreats, organizational strategic planning retreats. Through “Clarity” and “Carried-out” tests created by Andrew Carle, students studying health care administration at George Mason University evaluated the mission statements of more than 200 private, non-profit, and government organizations – including Starbucks, Target, McDonald’s, United Airlines, The Ritz Carlton, The Mayo Clinic, Sunrise Senior Living, and others. Based on Tom Peters and Nancy Austin’s “The Pursuit of Excellence”, and Jim Collins “Good To Great”, learn the difference between mission, vision, and values statements, and criteria to create a mission statement that strengthens organizational performance, rather than confusing or carrying no meaning for employees. Finally, learn the leadership characteristics that can determine which organizations succeed in their mission, and those that fail.
