Dr. Schloe's journey began during residency, when he purchased his first investment property with a physician loan and just $58 out of pocket. That early experience showed how house hacking and strategic real estate investing can be accessible even during medical training. He explains how residential assisted living differs from traditional large-scale facilities, offering personalized care in smaller, home-like settings with far better caregiver-to-resident ratios. These homes not only improve care quality and outcomes, but they also cost less than institutional care. We also explore the strong investment potential behind this model, from the massive care gap created by the aging baby boomer population to the various ownership options physicians can pursue, whether running their facility or investing passively. With their medical background and income potential, physicians are uniquely positioned to identify quality care and participate in a real estate opportunity that's both profitable and socially meaningful.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome the founders of Activity Connection as our guests.   Today, Activity Connection supports thousands of activity directors and eldercare staff with a comprehensive library of digital tools, including monthly calendars, cognitive fitness resources, multicultural content, sensory stimulation programs and customizable printables. The platform continues to innovate while staying true to the Ewalds' founding mission: to empower caregivers and bring joy, dignity and connection to the lives of older adults.    About Nancy Ewald:   Nancy Ewald holds a Bachelor of Science in medical technology and a Master of Science in allied health education. Her early “activities” involved teaching microbiology and working with test tubes, pipettes and Bunsen burners. However, while taking time off to raise three children and care for two ailing seniors, Nancy discovered her true passion and made a midlife career change. She returned to the workforce as an assistant activity director for a full-service senior community.   Her innovative programming quickly gained recognition, leading her to author six manuals for national providers and eventually serve as a national director overseeing training and program development for 170 communities across all levels of care. Motivated to solve the everyday challenges she had seen firsthand, Nancy left the corporate world and devoted herself to expanding Activity Connection into the robust platform it is today. She now lives in Winter Garden, Florida, where she enjoys spending time in her garden—her personal escape and creative inspiration.    About Doug Ewald:   Doug Ewald, a graduate of Indiana University with a Bachelor of Arts in studio arts and art history, spent nearly a decade in retail business management within the popular media arts industry. A lifelong enthusiast of computers and digital media, Doug recognized early on the internet's potential to transform how information and resources could be accessed and shared. In 1999, he built the first iteration of the Activity Connection website. Since then, Doug has served as CEO, leading the company's growth into a trusted, widely used digital platform that now benefits more than 1.5 million seniors each month. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and two children.   About Bob Ewald:   Bob Ewald joined Activity Connection part-time in 2003. After retiring a few years later from the corporate world, he stepped into the role of full-time chief financial officer. A graduate of Indiana University with a degree in accounting (Bob, Doug and Nancy are all proud Hoosier alumni), Bob worked as a certified public accountant in the insurance industry for 36 years.    He welcomed the shift from large corporations to small business life, knowing his work was making a direct difference. Bob is an avid history buff and enjoys chasing his grandchildren around the playground.   About Activity Connection:   Activity Connection is a trusted leader in life enrichment programming, serving nearly 20,000 senior living communities.
