Among adults aged 65+, around 35% live in these forms of households. As this trend is only expected to grow, multigenerational living expert Lisa M. Cini, is available to offer valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of multigenerational living. Lisa will discuss and debunk common myths often associated with these types of arrangements, including beliefs that multigenerational living is burdensome and limits personal freedom, invades privacy and personal space, and poses challenges for harmonious living.

And I think there's a difference. I talk a lot about, and have looked at, technology. Our cars adjust to us. So, I'm 4-11, my husband's thinks he's six foot, but he is not. He's like 5-9 or something like that. But our seats are very different. How my mirrors adjust to me, how my seat is heated or cooled. The passenger side has different adjustments where I can plug things in and it can help me control my speed, not to get too close to somebody, and even self-park. And we spend a lot less time in our cars than we do in our homes. Yet our homes, in general, don't adjust to us, especially as we age. So when we're talking about aging in place, we're talking about thriving as we choose where we want to live. And that could be living part of the year in a different area. It could be you're traveling around the country. It could be that you're in senior living or you're staying in your home that you bought when you're in your twenties and you've been there your whole life. So the point is, how do we get that environment to adjust to us, to allow us to feel safe and free and have confidence as we age?" On Technology "There's a lot of technology that we use every day that people don't think is technology. Like my glass is  technology. Hearing aids are technology. A pacemaker is technology. A glucose monitor that's on nonstop 14 days at a time is technology. Being able to monitor ourselves, Like you can do with an Aura ring or the Fitbit or even your phones. Hearing aids really can monitor your health very, very well. With data mining, you can predict a stroke or a heart attack about five days before it's gonna happen. You can see that sleep patterns are interrupted and someone might be able to help you avoid that or having your medications all screwed up. So all those preemptive things are going to be a huge thing. And wearables will probably move more into clothing or something that we have that we put on all the time....

How can you build and develop a residential assisted living (RAL) space that attracts residents and beats the competition? Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Lisa Cini, founder of Mosaic Design Studio and author of senior living design books. She helps RAL business owners take their properties to the next level. When it comes to RAL, it’s not only about location, location, location, but making it attractive and wanting to live there during your golden years. Highlights/Topics:  What sparked Lisa’s interest in RAL space? Interior design that transformed into certified healthcare to make an impact when sending people home What’s the difference between a nursing home and RAL? Nobody wants to go into a nursing home during a crisis situation knowing they’ll never leave alive How has RAL changed over the years? Mindset shifted to make a comfortable and attractive transition where average stay increased from two to 20 years  Is bigger always better for RAL? Better for the bottom line, publicly traded, scaled up version for profit and FTEs, but not for residents who live in them What makes RAL your or your loved one’s home? Walk-the-walk and talk-the-talk of what you do at home; forget about bed hair and getting dressed up  Why does RAL staff become a surrogate family? Interaction, engagement, and intimate one-on-one care lets residents put their guard down and live like they did at home What issues are related to RAL properties? Make it a place for residents to thrive and relieve burdens to change fear to freedom How should RAL properties be designed? Similar to spa design with curb appeal, vestibules, soft surfaces to reduce noise, induction loop, indirect lighting, wholesale residential furniture, and space for guests  What technology is essential for RAL properties? Lowe’s, Home Depot, and other big box companies are getting into RAL business by offering:Wi-Fi for streaming, gamification, face-to-face video, etc. Bidet toilet seats and handles to safely and independently clean yourself. Are RAL properties going to the dogs? People respond to and love their pets/comfort animals; they shouldn’t and don’t want to give them up  What else should RAL properties and their owners take into consideration? Be open minded about cannabis and the role it can play in residents’ lives   Resources Lisa Cini Mosaic Design Studio Books by Lisa Cini Best Living Tech Brookdale Assisted Living Sunrise Senior Living Clint Coons Anderson Advisors Anderson Advisors Tax and Asset Protection Event Anderson Advisors on YouTube

Multigenerational Living: Is it hard? How does it work? Lisa Cini is an award-winning, internationally-recognized senior living designer with more than 25 years’ experience.She just released her second book entitled “Hive The Simple Guide to Multigenerational Living,” which is based on her own personal situation of living in a 4-generation household with people in the house ranging in age from 17-92 and the positive impact design can have in a home for seniors with dementia. Lisa is also the Founder of www.BestLivingTech.com, think Sharper Image meets AARP! She searches the world for the best products to Embrace Living as we age. Her design company, Mosaic Design Studio, is the nation’s leading provider of design services for senior living According to Lisa, 90% of people do not want to move to Senior Living facilities. A lot of seniors do not want to move into the beautiful Senior Living Facilities Lisa Designs. Why would someone not want to live in a beautiful Senior Facility where they don't have to cook and there are a ton of activities? * It can be very expensive * People want to age at home * Some of them got their house when they got married or when they got home from the war. They had that same house their entire lives. Giving up their house is like giving up their freedom Multigenerational living means living with different age groups in one house. 25% of seniors are now living in a multigenerational household Lisa started living with her parents and grandparents when she started her company. She needed her mom to take care of her kids. Lisa asked her mom to help her raise the kids and her mom agreed. Her parents lived a couple of blocks away from her house so, she thought, her parents need to move in with her. She also convinced her grandmom to move in with them. How does it work? How do you deal with the different needs of different persons? Lisa tells us stories from her personal experience as she's living with her family from different age groups. Living with Lisa's parents and grandmother is going well. Her kids love their grandma's food, her parents love the joy her kids are giving them. Of course, nobody's perfect so even if everything is going well, there are some bumpy rides along the way. One of them was storage. Each generation feels differently about the storage of their private things. For example; there are things her grandmother considers private that her mother doesn't. There are also things her mother considers private that Lisa doesn't consider private. Lisa's grandmother has Alzheimer's. She wanders around so Lisa created a wandering path in her house and used technology. Anything that she could hurt herself on is not on that wandering path. They also installed cameras in her house so that whenever her parents would go out and eat dinner, they would not worry about coming home right away. They could just turn on the camera and talk to her grandmother. Pretty Cool!

Lisa M. Cini has spent many years developing her business and curating important technology for senior living. Her background in interior design led to the development of Mosaic Design Studio and Best Living Tech. In this episode, she talks about her lifeline and the impact EO has on not only her own life, but her family’s as well. She shares some stories about some rough patches in her life, and how she overcame them and continued to grow her business.   Key Takeaways:   [1:24] Looking back on her lifeline, Lisa’s greatest realization is how much her perspective has changed. She talks about some different big moments in her life that led to where is now — starting with a leadership camp in middle school. She attended a variety of school programs in college, finding the one that was going to give her the degree that would allow her to do what she wanted with interior design. The birth of her children and their early childhood was also a defining moment. [3:30] In 1998 she started her company and made $1 million in business in her first year. She won an award and joined the Women’s Presidents Organization, which was defining for her development as a business owner. [5:00] Lisa talks about her relationship with her parents, and how they helped with Lisa’s daughter when she was sick. Having her mom around allowed Lisa to take care of her daughter and keep/grow her business at the same time. In 2004 she joined EO, and also joined Strategic Coach — the family conferences they attended through Strategic Coach had a profound impact on her family, especially her kids. Her son is now an entrepreneur. [6:45] While she was working on her business, Lisa got sick as well. For a couple years they didn’t know what was going on, but she was eventually diagnosed with lupus. She started to receive treatment and now things are much better. While it is still part of her everyday, she has found ways to make it work so she can continue with her business, and is also looking to more homeopathic remedies. [10:18] Another organization she joined was Genius Network. She is a big fan of joining organizations, and her forum benefits from the knowledge she gains. She was able to apply some of the stuff she learned in EO and with Genius Network to goal-setting for her children’s sports team. This had a profound impact on her and her kids, as well as the other students on the team. [13:05] In 2014, a very personal tragedy shook their family. Her nephew was killed in a car accident and in addition to the emotional grief, there was also family matters that needed to be taken care of. She says the blessing of it all was that the family was able to be together to celebrate his life and love. This was a big point in her lifeline, personally and emotionally, but also in her business. Her business doubled in revenue and she also published her first book, Senior Living Reimagined. [18:10] She wrote her second book in the aftermath of this tragedy as well, about the daily life of having four generations living in her household. She also began trying some of the technology she had seen at Abundance 360 on her family members; she created an online company called bestlivingtech.com, that includes things used in the home to help people age in place and be independent. She shares an amusing story about testing some of the products on her family members. [23:50] Lisa talks about some of the other technologies they use in her family for her parents and grandmother, including a robotic cat. At Best Living Tech it’s like Sharper Image meets AARP. They have health tools as well as other technologies that might be appealing to the Baby Boomers as they age. [24:55] Lisa talks about her decision to make Best Living Tech a separate business. Her goal is to keep this an evergreen company that will keep growing without a huge staff. She is also starting a personal brand as well. [26:35] Lisa talks about how the dynamic of interior design has changed with the development of technology and applications — some of these apps provided things that interior designers couldn’t. Why thinking about how to best service her range of clients, they transitioned the company to be an 80-20 split, where they project manage their designers, but they do the work. She talks about how they used their books as a marketing strategy. [29:55] Most of her work focuses on senior living, but she also has the flexibility to work on other projects, and they’ve even expanded to some different countries around the world. This helps her to feel invigorated as well as to be able to focus on some of the projects outside her business, before bringing them to the business. [31:50] The first book positioned them as a company consistently, and created them as an expert, and attracted a staff that was aligned. The next step was to get their work out in the world. [33:53] Some of the ways she manages all her projects is by creating some partnerships. Someone else runs Best Living Tech, but she still curates the products and manages projects. She has been exploring where she is needed and where she can let go, which has been instrumental for her. [36:20] EO was very important not only for Lisa’s development in business but also for her kids’. Being involved strengthened her relationship with her son and daughter, and a mutual respect was able to develop for how the kids learned and for the kids to see how hard their mom worked. [40:50] Some of the next things she is working on are finalizing their training and testing platform, and being able to leverage that to sell to her competition to create software as a service. She’s also been building another software that is a 3D visualization program that will allow you to build your budget as you add things in real time. Hopefully this can help cut development time in half. Her next book is called Boom, and explores the latest technology that Baby Boomers can use. [42:41] Lisa talks about the process of getting her first two books published, and how they helped to propel her business. Her books have given her an authority she didn’t know she had. [48:05] If you know of someone who has great tech that could be applied to senior living, let Lisa know!   Mentioned in This Episode: Columbus Chapter of Entrepreneurs’ Organization Mosaic Design Studio The Future is Here… Senior Living Reimagined, by Lisa Cini Hive: The Guide to Multi-Generational Living, by Lisa Cini Best Living Tech
