An Environment where Senior Living Residents are Respected and Celebrated
Manage episode 291707226 series 2854052
Today we present you a unique story that could transform the assisted living industry. Our story begins with Elderfire Lodges founder, Tom Hofmeister, witnessing his father's personal journey with Alzheimer's. With this first-hand experience, Tom quickly became aware of the shortcomings of the adult care industry. Statistics show that 85% of people who would benefit from residing in an assisted living community don’t want to. Tom’s thought was, “Maybe someone needs to step up and fix that!” So, he put together an experienced team, who ultimately posed two questions:
*What if we created an environment that people will be proud to call home; a place their families and the community are excited about visiting and eager to join residents for community events?
*What if we created an assisted living culture where residents are respected and celebrated as accomplishers who are worthy to pass along wisdom and share their knowledge and talents with this generation?
Tom's team stepped up! Tune in to listen to this lively and informative conversation.
