Regardless of the label, resident-centered approaches to rehab, short-, and long-term care are the new expectation. But with all the "culture change" approaches out there, which model will best align with your organization's strategic goals, operational structure, and financial position? Our panel is implementing a variety of models across the country for diverse organizations, and will share the wide spectrum of knowledge they have gained on what is working best. The lecture will end with an exciting interactive exercise in which the audience is asked to apply what they've learned to "Design a House" in small groups.

Current consumer trends clearly demonstrate how market behavior is shifting toward a holistic approach to health and well being, where the focus is not just physical health, but a total lifestyle approach that incorporates social connectedness, emotional well being, spirituality, meaningful pursuits in life (vocation) and the environment. This seminar will bring lessons learned from the design and operation of state-of-the-art senior living communities, stand-alone wellness centers and world-class spa communities and explore practical solutions to integrate wellness holistically at every level of service. Participants will learn about programmatic, operational and environmental outcomes for wellness initiatives in senior communities and see examples of environments that are conducive to healing and visualize ways to enhance quality of life for elders. Moldow will be joined by Taizoon Jhaveri, Dianne Belli, and Spanda Bhavani.

Cinelli FAIA<br />“Avoid the “Uh-Oh” Moment: Integrated Scenario Planning”<br /><br />Does this sound familiar? You complete a strategic plan and move right into master-planning. One step follows another and everyone buys into the big idea—only to discover the dollars don’t work. How can you avoid this situation? Consider Integrated Scenario Planning (ISP). ISP helps you define solutions developed during strategic planning and estimate their success before proceeding. It is facilitated by planning, financial, and marketing experts who evaluate the multiple situations; review expenses and income options; and develop marketable solutions. This allows an informed prioritization of program equations and real-time testing of the plan components. Cinelli will be joined by John Kotovsky, President and CEO of Lutheran Senior Services; Mike Wallace, VP of Sales and Marketing for Spectrum Consultants; and Mario Mckenzie, Partner at LarsonAllen.
