On today's show we're talking about staff retention and how to address the staffing shortage that is plaguing many industries. Nowhere is worker burnout being felt more acutely than in the healthcare arena. Whether we are talking about acute care that you would see in a hospital setting, or more chronic care like you would see in assisted living skilled nursing, worker burnout is a major issue. Many of you know that I'm a part owner in a senior living and memory care development. Senior care is a service business, that happens to be built on a real estate platform. The folks at Senior Housing News just published the results of a survey on workforce perspectives on the industry. Spoiler alert: People are burned out! -------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

On today's show we're taking a closer look at what's happening in the world of senior housing. The folks at Fannie Mae recently published a market update on the sector which we look closely at. We also follow the daily updates at Senior Housing News which report both trends and news in the sector. We saw a rapid deterioration in senior housing occupancy since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Senior housing fundamentals began to improve in the middle of 2021, with the industry experiencing a strong occupancy rebound, according to multiple sources that we track. Back in 2015 senior housing occupancy averaged about 90% nationwide. Developers started building more supply in anticipating of growing demand from the aging baby boomer population. At the start of the pandemic, occupancy had fallen to 87% on average with a 90% occupancy in independent living and 85% in assisted living. Along came the pandemic and occupancies fell to 75% in assisted living and 82% in independent living. But that's just an average. --------------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

When you are in the design and development world, the challenges are daily and the rewards are infrequent. Well, today was one of those days when I got to go to sleep feeling accomplished. Yesterday, our project, The Sage Oak of Lake Charles was announced as the national winner of the 2021 Senior Housing News Architectural Design Award competition in the Memory Care category. As a developer, I'm thrilled to be part of this team effort to bring this ground breaking project to fruition. A project like this is truly a team effort. I'm going to thank a whole bunch of folks who helped bring this project to fruition. In so doing, I'm certainly going to miss some who are worthy of mention. I've got to start with my partner Loe Hornbuckle who developed the expertise as an operator at a very high level. It was his brainchild to create refine the values the underpin the Sage Oak product offer. I'd like to recognize the architecture firm of Greenfield Lawson in New Orleans, the general contractor of Donahue Favret also from New Orleans, Valerie Malone and her interior design firm at Quill Design in Cambridge, our partners Pam Abide and Sharon Foreman at New Orleans Equity Partners, our supportive lender at B1 Bank, Dave Zook and the whole team at the Real Asset Investor, our expert staff under the leadership of Executive director Jeremy Fruge, and the entire staff at Sage Oak. When you walk in the door, after you take a temperature test, you can really feel the positive energy in the doors. You are the reason that we're ahead of our occupancy projections this early into the startup cycle. We don't build these projects to win awards. We're not out there playing the comparison game. We build these projects to create a great product in the market that solves a real need. Where design competitions are useful is in looking at what other leaders in the industry are doing and helping to calibrate what best in class looks like in the industry. We're not going to stop innovating, improving, strengthening the product offering for the new buildings that are under construction in other locations. Even as winners, we see room for improvement. Most of the time, those improvements are small details, like better positioning of a shower head in a shower. But we're thrilled to receive the honor and recognition that comes from being the winner of this year's award.

The go-to analyst of age-tech shares her take on solutions for connection, health, and safety, how wearables will influence senior living, and why voice is the “killer app.” About Laurie Laurie M. Orlov is a tech industry veteran, writer, speaker, and elder care advocate. Her popular report Aging and Health Technology Watch provides thought leadership, analysis and guidance about health and aging-related technologies and services that enable boomers and seniors to sustain and improve their quality of life. In her previous career, Laurie spent many years in the technology industry, including nine years at analyst firm Forrester Research. She has spoken regularly and delivered keynote speeches at forums, industry consortia, conferences, and symposia, most recently on the business of technology for boomers and seniors. She advises large organizations as well as non-profits and entrepreneurs about trends and opportunities in the age-related technology market. Laurie's segmentation of this emerging technology market and trends commentary have been presented in the Journal of Geriatric Care Management. Her perspectives have been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Senior Housing News, CNN Health, and Consumer Reports. She has a graduate certification in Geriatric Care Management from the University of Florida and a BA in Music from the University of Rochester. Laurie has provided testimony about technology at a Senate Aging Committee hearing and consulted to AARP. Advisory clients have included AARP, Argentum, Bose, CDW, Microsoft, Novartis, Philips, and many others. Key Takeaways Technologies for older adults are categorized into three primary types: connection, health, and safety. These technologies for senior living and aging in place are essentially the same yet deployed differently. Connection in senior living starts with broadband.The senior living industry has been late in getting adequate Wi-Fi, but the pace of adoption picked up during Covid. Telehealth is here to stay. There will be a hybrid set of offerings for medicine and mental health consultations depending on the condition of the patient and the distance to travel. Providers of new health technologies need be HIPAA compliant.Apple became compliant in eight weeks with the initial launch of their health application. There is a reincarnation of fall detection with wearables and home sensing technologies using voice, radar, and AI. In senior living, technology can notify staff of a fall and determine whether it is an emergency that needs medical attention. Voice technologies are a game changer for older adults. Until 2018, the only way to interact with a technology was to type, swipe, pinch, or zoom.

On today’s show we’re talking about the health of a high turnover businesses. One business in particular that has been very hard hit during the pandemic is senior housing. Under normal circumstances, those entering assisted living are there on average for about three years. Some facilities offer respite care, but most residents are there until they move into a skilled nursing facility, or if they decline quickly, they go into hospice. Senior housing relies in a continual flow of new residents coming into the homes to maintain their occupancy. Generally speaking, there has been a lot of construction of new senior housing in anticipation of the baby boomers aging out of their homes. It’s expected that the size of the senior housing industry is going to double over the next decade. So much of this excess supply will eventually get absorbed. So here we are in 2020, in the middle of a pandemic that has impacted many senior care homes. The stories of homes that have been devastated by outbreaks of Covid-19 have made headlines. There have been a handful of really badly managed situations, acute staff shortages, resident neglect and high death toll. On the other hand, the vast majority of facilities have continued to be well run, and have not experienced any Covid-19 outbreaks. But the headlines have stigmatized the entire industry. We are now 7 months into the pandemic and a number of residents have left the assisted living community where they resided. This may have been due to a deterioration of the pre-existing condition, it may have been as a result of Covid-19, and it may have been as a result of family pulling Mom or Dad back home. Senior facilities continue to operate under strict lockdown protocols. That means that someone new coming into a facility must quarantine for 14 days. After that, they may have contact with other residents in the facility. But family is still barred from visiting indefinitely. The lack of human contact for the elderly can be emotionally devastating. Families are simply not electing to put a family member into assisted living under these circumstances. While facilities have been open to accepting new residents for some time, the number of new residents has been a trickle compared with normal conditions. That means that senior housing as an industry is going to experience declining occupancy until well after the pandemic is over. Some newer facilities were in the middle of their lease-up when the pandemic hit. According to a report in Senior Housing News, 53% of communities are continuing to report declining occupancy. Ventas is a large national operator. They’ve seen occupancy drop from 85% in some of their facilities to about 80% since April. WellTower, another large player with 612 senior housing operations in their portfolio reported a 79.4% average spot occupancy rate for its portfolio in July, a significant decrease from the 85.8% occupancy rate it reported in February before the pandemic hit. We believe that the big box operators are going to get aggressive in their marketing in the coming months as they try to fight for market share under these challenging conditions. We also believe the economic model is going to change. The number one cost in assisted living is staff. Labour costs are on the rise in the industry as caregivers and personal support workers demand higher wages to compensate for the added costs and risks associated with working in the pandemic environment. These higher costs are ultimately going to be passed on to customers, except in those cases where there is a government or insurance contribution. Labour rates are rising faster than the cost of living allowance that both government and insurance have built into their rates. The result will be a profit squeeze for operators. Some who are already suffering due to lower occupancy will get hit again as their profit margins get eroded.

Senior Housing News offers trends and predictions of what is on the horizon for innovation in the senior housing industry. Less independent living, more active adult rentals and adaptive reuse like former farms or defunct malls.

For-profits and not-for-profits can and should work together to tackle some of senior housing's biggest challenges. There is no perhaps no organization that exemplifies that concept better than Englewood, Colorado-based Christian Living Communities (CLC) and its for-profit management arm, Cappella Living Solutions. Both organizations are growing and finding new ways to stay one step ahead of potential disruptors, CEO Terry Rogers told us in this episode of the Senior Housing News podcast, Transform, sponsored by PointClickCare. This year, CLC made headway on several innovative initiatives, including its participation in Medicare Advantage group The Perennial Consortium and in its efforts to create a development of small homes in partnership with Bill Thomas’ Minka. In this episode, learn about: - CLC's plans to optimize and grow its owned and managed senior living portfolios - How nonprofits can compete with and partner with for-profit providers - Plans to build a small-home community with Minka - Progress on the Perennial Consortium

New Perspective Senior Living has its work cut out to accomplish ambitious goals, and it has a new CEO leading the way. The Minnetonka, Minnesota-based senior living provider has set a goal of serving 10,000 older adults by 2025, and accordingly ramped up its pipeline in recent months. New Perspective also named Ryan Novaczyk as its new CEO earlier this year. Novaczyk talked about his current plans for the company in the Senior Housing News podcast, Transform. In this episode, learn about: - How New Perspective plans to serve 10,000 older adults by 2025 - Why growth is at the forefront of Novaczyk's business strategy - The company's beginnings in the basement of the Novaczyk family home - What New Perspective plans to do in the face of strong supply and labor headwinds

It's either an exciting or a scary time to be in the senior living industry, depending on who you ask. For Aegis Living Founder and CEO Dwayne Clark, it's the former. The senior living provider is opening unique communities with themed designs, and all the while building a corporate team that includes former leaders from companies such as Starbucks and Nordstrom, Clark said in this episode of the Senior Housing News podcast, Transform. In this episode, learn about: - Why Aegis Living wants to stop using the term "assisted living" - How Clark sees the provider as a "patchwork quilt" of different industries - Why Aegis doesn't hire any of its general managers from other senior living competitors - What Clark learned traveling the globe looking for the keys to longevity and healthy aging

Senior living operators must change with the times — but for Integral Senior Living, this year has been more about execution than new initiatives. In fact, it’s been an “initiative-free year” for the company, CEO Collette Gray explains in this episode of the Senior Housing News podcast, Transform. Following busy years that saw a lot of changes, it was time to hit pause and focus on execution, Gray said. Still, ISL is not treading water. Rather, it’s taking a breath to prepare for the big push to meet a new consumer demographic, respond to major workforce challenges, and seize new opportunities to expand the already sizable portfolio of about 75 communities in 18 states. In this episode, learn: * How ISL approaches the “transactional” marketplace for third-party operators, to manage both new developments and turnarounds * Why ISL created a new corporate role to address workforce challenges — a move that Gray would not have anticipated four years ago * How Gray’ is working to bring more women into the leadership ranks of senior living

Addressing the growing demand for middle-market senior housing is one of 2019’s top issues in senior living, but HumanGood CEO John Cochrane says that the industry first needs to realize there is no simple solution, as middle-market senior housing encompasses varying product types and price points. Cochrane, who is in his 11th year as head of the Pleasanton, California-based provider, shared his insight during a recent interview for the Senior Housing News podcast Transform. Transform focuses on the people and ideas shaping the future of senior living. In this episode, Cochrane shares his thoughts on: - HumanGood’s recent affiliation with Presby’s Inspired Living and his plans to build a national portfolio - How he sees the senior living consumer changing over the next decade - How nonprofit senior living providers are competing against their for-profit counterparts - How HumanGood approaches the build vs. buy equation - How HumanGood is evaluating its portfolio to meet the demand for affordable senior housing while maximizing value

In addition, Clark is an author and playwright. His works have included: • Seven Ways to Get There • A Big Life • 30 Summers Left • My Mother, My Son • Saturdays with G.G. Get His newest book "30 Summers Left" https://dwaynejclark.com/30-summers-left Lessons from Longevity One day when Dwayne J. Clark was taking his usual 20-minute commute to work, he heard four science-based health stories in a row on the radio: one on how a group of people with Parkinson’s disease were found to respond favorably to cycling three times a week; another on the reality that many drugs tested on mice don’t work on people; a third on the question of the health benefits of marijuana; and finally, a report on why lonely people have more severe cold symptoms. Listening to the radio that day, Clark, ironically realized that he had never consciously applied those lessons to himself. He didn’t think he needed to. As the CEO of Aegis Living Clark he had held a lifelong obsession with the pursuit of health — both understanding and obtaining it. “My back-of-the-napkin estimate is that I’ve overseen the care of more than 60,000 amazing human beings,” says Clark. But as Clark has moved into his middle-age years, the psychic impact of his constant awareness of aging and death made him intensely more curious about living a good life, and, even more, living the greatest life possible. 30 Summers Left contains the “lessons from longevity” that Clark has amassed from a front-line view as the CEO of Aegis Living, combined with the latest health and wellness research on living well as we age. In addition, the book outlines what Clark calls the “microhabits” or bite-sized actions necessary for living our best life as we move into our senior years. Clark has a strong belief in active philanthorpy, the importance of building community and creating opportunity for others. Clark and his company Aegis Living contribute to more than 70 local and global charities, with Clark founding the following: • The Potato Soup Foundation • The D1 Foundation • The Queen Bee Café • The March for Civility Dwayne lives in Seattle with his wife, Terese, who shares his commitment to active philanthropy. Dwayne J. Clark is that rare individual. A true Renaissance man and polymath, he is the founder and CEO of Aegis Living, a filmmaker, author, playwright and philanthropist. The youngest of four children, Clark was raised by a loving, single mother who worked long, hard hours as a line cook. He grew up poor and often hungry, but through the generous gifts of others, Clark found his voice and the courage to stand up and stand out in the world. It’s no surprise then that for much of his career, he has focused on giving the disadvantaged citizens of society a hand up. Author and Playwright Clark is an accomplished playwright and producer with a passion for telling stories that inspire and uplift audiences. His first play, “Seven Ways to Get There,” is a true telling of his experience in a men’s therapy group. The well-reviewed production first premiered in early 2015 at Seattle’s ACT Theatre.In addition, Clark is a five-time published author whose books include: A Big Life; 30 Summers Left; My Mother, My Son; Saturdays with G.G. and Help Wanted: Recruiting, Hiring and Retaining Exceptional Staff. Philanthropist and Mentor Though Clark is now one of Seattle’s best-known and most successful CEOs, he grew up poor with often not enough money for food. The family solution was to make a potato soup meant to last the week. Clark says that something his mother said to him about those times has stuck with him and guided his entire life: “Dwayne, no matter what you do, don’t ever forget where you came from and that you had to eat potato soup every day for a week. When you have employees, be there for them, and they will always be there for you.” Clark never forgot. Today, he supports more than 70 local and global charities and has founded three of his own including: The Potato Soup Foundation A not-for-profit organization serving the needs of Aegis Living line staff and their families during times of crisis. The Foundation has helped people with emergency medical treatment, emergency housing, funeral expenses and a variety of other crisis situations. The Queen Bee Café The Seattle-based café and crumpet shop has two locations, on Capitol Hill and Queen Anne. One hundred percent of profits are donated to local charities, with past donations supporting the YMCA, The Boys & Girls Clubs, and the Gay Seattle Business Association Scholarship Fund. The newest cafe is currently donating proceeds to the Queen Anne Helpline, which provides emergency assistance for housing, food and more to the local elderly, disabled and low-income. The D1 Foundation A mentorship program to serve underprivileged youth. Clark partnered with a University of Washington professor to create a curriculum for needed life skills including everything from credit counseling to the ethics of dating.
