Vitality Series

 
 

The Brilliant Aging® Vitality Series shines a spotlight on senior living challenges and innovations and invites industry leaders on LinkedIn to discuss solutions. Our first series Preparing Residents to Thrive explores what we can do to better prepare residents in-advance to thrive in a community setting.

What would it mean to your community culture if a higher percentage of new residents moved-in with an already internalized wellness mindset? Prepare new residents in-advance to embrace a mindset of well-being and engagement on move-in?

Regardless of amenities, feeling “at home” is the #1 predictor of resident satisfaction. What specific strategies does your community use to help prospects feel a sense of belonging and be a valued member of a community on move-in?

Residents who are fully engaged in your community are key to developing an inspired resident and family referral network.
What process do you employ to help new residents embrace a personal mindset of well-being and engagement before move-in?

Sales counselors carefully develop nurturing relationships with prospects throughout the sales journey, but they may feel “dropped” after move-in.

Preparing individuals for the transition from being a prospect to becoming a daily resident in the community can significantly impact new resident satisfaction.

From 1st contact with your community to daily life after move-in, empower prospects and residents with individualized opportunities to take ownership of their personal well-being.

What engagement opportunities do you offer that are specifically designed to reach residents in the first three stages of behavior change? Offer stepping stones that help individuals move through the stages into action to embrace engagement.

What if prospect outreach resources did double duty – helped build relationships with prospects AND prepared new residents in advance to engage immediately on move-in.

How are we preparing new residents to make the social/emotional move into senior living? Most communities employ a very specific process to help residents make the physical move, but what about the social/emotional move?

Create a process that gives both residents and staff the tools necessary to embrace a shared responsibility for a culture of well-being, and build personal skills to thrive in-community.

 

Some residents may view wellness as an amenity rather than a lifestyle, or feel like it simply doesn’t apply to them due to health challenges.

What would it mean to your community if new residents across the care continuum were primed before move-in to embrace a mindset of well-being and engagement?

Engaged residents are in the 4th and 5th (action and maintenance) stages of a well-documented pattern to behavior change. What are you doing to reach residents in stages 1-3, pre-contemplation, contemplation, and preparation?
