Colin Milner, founder of Active Aging Week, says you've made it this far, now it's time to take your life to a whole new level. How you can change the culture of aging.
What if we were to reimagine senior living around active aging principles that empower older adults to live with purpose, engagement and continual growth? It's not just buildings that need to be designed with a purpose in mind; the people using them also need purpose. We are joined by the founder and CEO of the International Council on Active Aging, Colin Milner, who believes that retirement communities need to move away from the status quo and offer environments that support purposeful, engaged living through well-designed, flexible spaces, intergenerational activities, lifelong learning, and wellness-focused programs.

As senior living providers increase their focus on wellness, McKnight's Senior Living Editor Lois A. Bowers sits down with Colin Milner, founder and CEO of the International Council on Active Aging, to discuss how the pandemic has changed the industry's view of wellness, how wellness can attract middle-income prospects, and a group that often is overlooked in providers' wellness plans.
Nancy Griffin welcomes back Colin Milner, CEO of the International Council on Active Aging®. ICAA's business and consumer initiatives create new paradigms of healthy aging across the globe. About Colin Colin Milner is the founder of the active-aging industry in North America. He is the leading authority on the health and wellbeing of the older adult, and has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the “most innovative and influential minds” in the world on aging-related topics.

He is the publisher of the Journal on Active Aging and has authored more than 300 articles on fitness, wellness, and the business of healthy aging. Key Takeaways There are multiple models of wellness with the common goal of helping people to live better longer. ICAA latest research shows wellness is a growing priority. Eighty-one percent of the 459 respondents from senior living communities see wellness is a high or essential priority, compared to 60% in 2018. Fifty-three percent of respondents believe they have a culture of wellness, permeated throughout the organization and not just within the wellness center. The ROI of wellness includes attracting a younger, health-conscious residents and keeping residents at the community longer because they are healthier and more engaged. Senior living can't rely on the government for funding. Government is all about the election cycles and trying to get funds will be extremely difficult.

Glowing Older kicks off Season 2 with Colin Milner, CEO and founder of the International Council on Active Aging® (ICAA) and Active Aging Week. He shares the findings from the ICAA Covid-19 Senior Living Task Force white paper Creating a path towards the "next normal" in senior living. ICAA brought together 154 providers of housing and services for older adults to create strategies and tactics to help all segments of the senior living industry emerge from being locked down. Learn about the 6 strategies and 35 tactics developed to optimize the health and well-being of residents and staff. About Colin Colin Milner is a leading authority on the health and wellbeing of the older adult and has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of “the most innovative and influential minds” in the world on aging-related topics. An award-winning writer, Milner has authored more than 300 articles and contributed a chapter to the World Economic Forum book Global Population Ageing: Peril or Promise? His expertise has been sought by organizations around the world, including the World Health Organization, the White House Conference on Aging, the National Institute on Aging, New Balance, and the European Commission. He is the publisher of the Journal on Active Aging and has authored more than 300 articles on fitness, wellness, and the business of healthy aging. Key Takeaways Properties are replacing the “it's always been done this way” outlook with a new paradigm. Lockdown is having a negative impact on residents' physical, mental and spiritual capabilities. Operators are waking up to the fact that they need to address actual health and well-being beyond simply keeping residents safe. Senior living's current value proposition is taking a significant beating, not only in the media but within the communities. The new value proposition should be: How do we help individuals live the best life possible? The first strategy is to design and renovate interiors and exteriors of your buildings to create a “well” building. From faucets to soaps to towel dispensers, touchless everything is going to come into play. Attracting qualified staff starts with creating the right culture: fair pay, the right tools, the ability to make crucial decisions on the spot, and opportunities for your staff to grow personally and professionally. Advocate for a model that focuses on staff and residents not just the bottom line because if you take care of those two, the bottom line will come. If you promote that you are committed to wellness, then commit to wellness. Don't just use it as a catchphrase.
Believing the pandemic gives senior living a do-over, thought leaders offer guidance for version2.0 in a White Paper titled Creating A Path Towards the ‘Next Normal’ in Senior Living. Senior Living FORESIGHT’s podcast producer Pam McDonald interviews Colin Milner, the founder and CEO of the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), who organized the collaborative effort.
As founder of the International Council on Active Aging® (ICAA) and Active Aging Week, and the Journal of Active Aging, Colin is the known in senior living circles as the “guru of wellness.” has been advocating for a new paradigm in aging for more than 30 years. Get an insider's point of view into top trends in senior living, including a “wellness” versus “care” model, on-demand services, personalization, Covid-19 new normal, and much more! About Colin Colin Milner is CEO of the International Council on Active Aging® (ICAA) and founder of the active-aging industry in North America.

He is the publisher of the Journal on Active Aging and has authored more than 300 articles on fitness, wellness, and the business of healthy aging. Key Takeaways The ICAA 7-dimensional wellness model focuses on the ability to understand, accept and act upon the capacity to lead a purpose-filled and engaged life. In doing so, we can embrace our potential within all the areas of Wellness to optimize life's possibilities. Nearly 60% of ICAA members expect to move to a “wellness” versus “care” model in the next five years. But wellness in many cases has become a marketing mantra. Properties have to be committed to the wellness movement. (An example is a hotel that promotes a full-service spa, only to find a hot tub with a massage room.) On-demand, more flexible services in senior living is a huge trend. Residents want what they want when they want it. Services have become more personalized across the board, enabled by technology. There is a huge need to educate the public on the differences between various levels of senior housing options, and to rid the industry of the “nursing home” stigma. Senior communities come together to celebrate their residents during Active Aging Week October 5-11, 2020. Activities range from nature walks, to hot air balloon rides, to the world's biggest seated exercise class. Register here to become a host site. The ICAA Virtual Conference, Leadership Summit and Expo October 27-28 and November 5-6, 2020, is a live learning experience. A must-attend for any person or organization embracing opportunities associated with aging well.

Show Notes As always, we begin the show by finding out how the guest got into fitness. For Colin, it was wanting to become a professional soccer player. After traveling and putting on some weight he decided to become (what was called then) a weight training instructor for the club where he was working out. Colin was pegged later in his career as someone who could also be successful at sales, although he had little interest at the time. He accepted the position of Assistant Manager and realized that during the selling process he could also create meaningful relationships with the potential clients. He realized that he was able to help people reach their goals by getting them involved in the process. One of his mentors told Colin that “nothing will happen until somebody makes that commitment ” and that his job of representing the club was to help them make that life-changing decision. Colin realized that he could help others live a better life through fitness and all of that started with them making the decision, to begin the journey to a healthier lifestyle. Colin was one of the first to really embrace the active aging market. He saw that the fitness industry kept going after the same market, and believes that as much as we have all this creativity, we also have a lack of vision. When it comes to the demographic of the boomer market he believes that what we sometimes fail to remember is that more people have gone into the 50 plus segment than ever before. And that segment has grown in wealth. Their disposable income has also grown from 50% to 70% which is a huge leap. He invites us to decide if you want a piece of that action or not? Or do you still all want to scrape over the 20%, who we are already working with. Colin believes we haven’t done a great job of using our creativity with this generation. He goes onto say, “If you don't explore this market, you have nobody else to blame but yourself for being ineffective with it. If you put in a poor effort to serve this segment of the population, by thinking that you can just do the same thing and you don't get the results and then you turn around and say, oh, but they don't come to my facilities, all you have to do is look in the mirror because you haven't made the commitment. You have to explore, make the commitment and then sustain that commitment.” Colin reminds us that the older generation can sniff out BS, but that is what also makes it really exciting. The active aging market is diverse because as you get older, you become more yourself. We have more, life experience. We have more disparities in income, in functional levels and so on. This is not a one size fits all approach that you can just use. Colin says that the first thing to do is to make a commitment to yourself that you will actually understand who you are serving before you serve them. This incredible generation wants to reignite their lives and they want to discover delayed dreams. Colin gives us a great reminder that the only people who think health isn't worth it are healthy people. Once you start becoming unhealthy, whether it is through a health condition or whatever, a lot of times you'll pay you whatever you have to - to regain that health. Colin reminds us that there is also the importance of building social connections. So much so in the UK right now they offer social prescriptions for patients to go and connect with people. He also shares that the new definition of healthy aging according to the World Health Organization is now the ability to keep your functional abilities at a high level. It is no longer about the absence of disease. We touch on a few of the failures along Colin’s journey and how they shaped him for the better. At 29 he needed to declare bankruptcy and it was his sports background that helped him survive this turbulent time. The discipline of showing up even when things were tough. Colin shares that what he is really excited about for the future is that wellness encompasses virtually everything. This means you can get into it in a multitude of different ways. You don't have to be a fitness trainer. You can be someone who is a spiritual leader and then blend into all the other dimensions. You can be someone who is there to help people emotionally. He also reminds us of the startling fact that by the year 2020, the second leading cause of premature death and disability is expected to be depression. He encourages us to think of ourselves as agents of change as each and every one of us will experience an awful lot of changes. He sees one huge opportunity that has been untapped is what he calls change management. Whether you lose a boyfriend, whether you lose a husband, whether you lose a house, money, whatever it is, we all go through change and to help someone navigate that change, is a terrific opportunity, especially as they get older. As we begin to close our conversation Colin reminds us that even in times of challenging change that tomorrow will come and the sun will rise and so will we.

On this week's Fitness + Technology Podcast, host Bryan O'Rourke shares a webinar he presented to the International Council on Active Aging: “What are the future trends and current possibilities in technology.” Regular listeners will remember a recent podcast with Colin Milner, founder and CEO of the ICAA. Bryan spends time discussing technological breakthroughs in robotics and artificial intelligence and describes not only how technology is more relevant and beneficial to active agers than most people might realize, but also how these technological developments will provide further business opportunities for entrepreneurs.
The pod is one person down, as Sara is off in Malawi on her monitoring and evaluation trip. However, she has made time to phone in and give us an update on her work so far. Next we hear from Colin Milner, CEO and Founder of the International Council on Active Ageing. ICAA's mission is to promote Active Aging as a solution to improving the quality of life for older adult. We speak to Colin about the missed opportunity of not properly segmenting the older people audience, how physical activity can ensure older people are engaged in life and some good practice examples from around the globe. You can follow Colin on twitter here - @colinmilner. Then we hear from Tony Jameson-Allen, CEO and Founder of Sporting Memories. This is a UK based initiative to encourage older people especially those living with dementia to use sport as a tool for reminiscence. The sessions also now include physical activity as well. We discuss with Tony some of the challenges of measuring progress, how the sessions work and also the efforts to increase knowledge and understanding of how to ensure events are dementia friendly. We would also like to congratulate Sporting Memories for being shortlisted for the Sports Journalist Associations 'Sport for Social Change' award. You can follow Tony on twitter here - @tja_evonet Lee and Dave then discuss their views on the interviews and their experience in this field. Clearly, there's a huge opportunity with an inactive population, but also a population that has many demographic subsets that require an analytical approach. Potentially, it's not quite as glamorous as working with children, but there are huge benefits of sport and development to both the individuals and easing the strain on health and social care systems. Finally, we would love to hear from projects who are working with groups of older adults. How do you attract different groups, how do you maintain participation and what hints and tips do you have? Please get in touch via the usual ways below: Twitter - @goodsportscast Instagram @goodsportscast Email - info@goodsportcast.org.uk Lee is off on a couple of very exciting sports and development projects in Jordan and Nepal so our schedule might be a bit erratic in the lead up to Christmas, but we will be bringing you updates from the field soon. As always thanks for listening!

This week, on the Fitness + Technology podcast, Bryan O'Rourke welcomes Colin Milner, CEO of the International Council on Active Aging. A leading expert on the health and well-being of older adults, Colin debunks myths surrounding the 50 and over crowd, particularly when it comes to tech savvy and their economic potential: Not only do adults over 50 make up half the number of all total adults, they also spend half of the money spent by adults altogether. ICAA, in addition to challenging preconceived notions about aging, works to connect like-minded organizations and professionals who share the same beliefs. They are also the driving force behind Active Aging Week, which occurs during the last week of every September and encourages older adults to stay active, healthy and engaged.
In the third and final part of our time with Colin, we begin by going over how effective wellness programs help to create competitive positioning for communities by powering sales and marketing efforts. We talk about how this applies across all levels of care within a community and how it relates to referral sources in particular. Part of this includes the leveraging of a wellness program in a community’s post-acute strategy. We close with Colin discussing the ICAA’s Leadership in Wellness Management Certificate.
In part 2 of 3, we begin our conversation with Colin discussing the holistic, multi-dimensional framework that is common within senior living wellness programs and whether or not that remains an effective approach. We dive deeper into whether wellness programs have made an impact on helping communities meet their visions of improving the wellbeing of their residents and how staffing community-wide leadership roles within wellness areas provides impact.
In the first part of this conversation, Tony Galvan, Director of Health and Wellness and Colin Milner, CEO of the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), recap the importance of the first iteration of ICAA’s Business Case for Wellness white paper and discuss the motivation for producing an updated version. We then get into specific sections of the white paper including the market environment and how wellness programs are still key in helping organizations and communities meet their missions. We also talk about how the ICAA/ProMatura Wellness Benchmarks program played a part in providing relevant outcomes throughout the white paper.
