For years, managers and executives in the senior living industry have been discussing a looming critical staff shortage. Currently, this shortage is predicted to be at an epidemic, crisis level by the year 2025 unless the current trajectory is improved. Other areas of the aging industry are expected to experience a shortage also. Along with insufficient numbers, employee quality, engagement, loyalty, and work quality are also important considerations for an organization to achieve success. ICAA’s 2019 Virtual Summit addresses contemporary staffing issues and identifies solutions to enhance employee engagement, develop employee talents, and increase ways to strengthen your organization through high quality, motivated and loyal employees.

Eight trends impacting community living

Description
Jeff Weiss, CEO of Age of Majority, identifies top trends impacting the community living space, outlines their significant implications and provides practical, actionable steps to address each issue. The changing dynamics of our aging population, coupled with health and technological advancements, have reshaped both how and where North Americans want to live, work and play. Older adults are remaining active in the labor force, focusing on their health and exploring new passions. The depiction of the “elderly” as technologically challenged, sedentary and past their prime is increasingly inaccurate and potentially alienating. Senior living providers must understand how to adapt their brands to appropriately engage this dynamic group and tap into the significant opportunities represented in their changing lifestyles.
