Panel to Discuss Innovative Options for Single- Site Diversification
|
|
At the AJAS Plenary Session on Tuesday, April 2 beginning at 10:30 AM, a fascinating panel discussion sponsored by LCS
will offer an unique perspective on creative options for single-site diversif
ication.
Current conditions in eldercare are evolving at a rapid pace--there are more choices and alternative options for seniors regardless of geography. This can create many challenges for AJAS members.
New communities are entering the market and decades-old communities are upgrading or completely repositioning. Layer in complex changes in post-acute care, and your community may be in need of creative disruption.
What is your plan for staying competitive and expanding your revenue base when the same old approach is ineffective?
Is it time to diversify your community's services? The panel will offer thought-provoking questions and information to help professionals evaluate their current situation and determine a course of action for success.
Panelists include:
- Andrew Banoff, president/CEO, Jewish Senior Services, Bridgeport, CT
- Aaron Rulnick, managing principal, HJ Sims
- Blake Gillman, VP/director, post-acute care services, LCS
- Ted MacBeth, SVP/director of project development, LCS Development
Challenges faced by many communities such as the post-acute care evolution, will be covered during the session. The panel also will share unique approaches to remaining relevant such as a not-for-profit, full- service, independent living rental model and how to fund it.

Menorah Park Receives Top Inspection Marks
|
|
Menorah Park
(Beachwood, OH)
|
|
Menorah Park has received zero deficiencies in health care and services for the past five years. For this year's surveys, the Ohio Department of Health changed the way surveys are conducted that reflects day-to-day care on a more pronounced level. Surveyors stay on residential pavilions for longer time frames so they may conduct more in-depth interviews with residents, families and staff and increased observations of caregiving.

Elder Justice Monograph Published
|
| RiverSpring Health featuring
The Hebrew Home at Riverdale
(Riverdale, NY)
|
|
The Weinberg Center for Elder Justice is pleased to share our important new monograph, Shelter: The Missing Link in a Coordinated Community Response to Elder Abuse.
This publication is a milestone for the burgeoning elder shelter movement, which began at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale in 2005 with the launch of the Weinberg Center, the first elder abuse shelter in the nation. Since then, we have been privileged to work with courageous and caring leaders around the country to adapt the elder abuse shelter model to the unique needs and resources of their communities.
This powerful monograph describes what these visionary colleagues already know: elder abuse shelter is a vital component of any robust coordinated community response or multidisciplinary team.
