Book excerpt: This book will remove the fear and anxiety of senior living and care. Senior living is perhaps the most sensitive topic of all. To most, the feelings on this topic range from discomfort to fear to absolute paralysis at the very idea of this subject. When circumstances force you into this zone you are almost always alone, confused, conflicted, and feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed. No more. With this book you will now possess the ultimate guide to understanding exactly what the choices are, how to choose, why to choose, what to avoid, where the landmines are hidden, and (most importantly) how to make all the right moves. This is possible because for the first time an accomplished and experienced senior living owner/operator has written a tell-all for families to unlock the secrets to the mysterious world of independent and assisted living from the inside out. This cheat-sheet, now in large print, will give you the advantage in nearly every situation, and without it you will be at the mercy of others in more ways than you can imagine. Go behind the Gray Curtain to learn how to navigate these choppy waters. Chapters include The ABCs of Senior Living, Insider Touring Guide and Senior Living Secrets, The Critical Conversation No One Has, Secret Sauce, Dragon Seniors, and Smart Prepping For The Move. David Slomovic is a modern Renaissance man passionately focused on improving the future for all. After years as a Trial Attorney in the bloody field of criminal law he left law to join the family real estate business. For nearly 18 years, until his incredibly successful exit, he personally operated a family-owned 130 unit senior living Community in Orange County, California. Forced to start at the bottom, literally, the author used observations, creative marketing and operating solutions, unorthodox staff motivation techniques, and a unique remodel design from his own imagination, to transform his struggling asset into a profitable powerhouse that shattered the per-door sale record that existed at the time in Orange County, California. Since his exit Mr. Slomovic has been consulting with operators and developers regarding marketing and operating solutions while also evaluating new opportunities. Mr. Slomovic identifies the fixable flaws in the Industry that most Corporations and Communities do not even know they have, exposes the shocking secret reasons behind the industry's poor penetration rates, and makes an extraordinary case for the bright future success of senior living that the Aging Industry somehow fails to advance. David Slomovic was, much like you, thrown into this world with no notice and no net. His trials and tribulations will illuminate your path to critical information and practical answers. This is a step-by-step playbook to understand what the Communities are trying to do to you, how to make the right decisions at each turn, and how to ultimately be the hero for yourself and your loved ones. This book is for those who need to know the meaning of the industry jargon as well as the choices available without manipulation. It is written for the senior living employee to realize their powerful role in this growing industry. And it is for the Owners, Executives, and Thought Leaders of senior living to see that a better way for all involved exists if they just present the product honestly and create the senior living communities they would want for themselves and their families. The Unicorn Project reveals hidden truths about seniors, employees, the most common transition mistakes, and even criminal law that you never expected or knew before. Join Mr. Slomovic on his mission of discovery as he takes you through his extraordinary journey from criminal Trial Attorney to Assisted Living mogul in his new stunning and controversial book, The Unicorn Project: Insider Secrets of Senior Living Plus the Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide to Assisted Living.

Book Synopsis Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living by : Jill Vitale-Aussem
Download or read book Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living written by Jill Vitale-Aussem and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 each day, the need for senior living is growing at a steep rate, and the aging services field has been hard at work preparing for these new customers. Current practices aim to bring the kind of comfort and amenities enjoyed at hotels and resorts to the settings we create for older adults to live in. But what if these efforts are misdirected? Interweaving research on aging, ideas from influential thinkers in the aging services field, and the author's own experiences managing and operating senior living communities, Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living: A Mindshift challenges readers to question long-accepted practices, examine their own biases, and work toward creating vibrant cultures of possibility and growth for elders. Shining a light on her own professional field, Jill Vitale-Aussem exposes the errors of current thinking and demonstrates how a shift in perspective can effect real cultural transformation. Her book delves into society's inherent biases about growing older--where ageism, paternalism, and ableism abound--and provokes readers to examine how a youth-obsessed culture unconsciously impacts even the most well-meaning senior living policies, practices, and organizations. Deconstructing the popular hospitality model, for example, Vitale-Aussem explains how it can actually undermine feelings of purpose and independence. In its place, she proposes better ways to create opportunities for older people to exercise choice, autonomy, and self-efficacy. Filled with empowering stories of elders who find purpose and belonging within their senior residences, Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living builds on AARP's disrupt aging work and demonstrates that to truly transform senior living, we must dig deeper and create communities that promote the potential and value of the people who live and work in these settings.
Book Synopsis Assisted Living by : Sheryl Zimmerman
Download or read book Assisted Living written by Sheryl Zimmerman and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the number of elderly persons needing long-term care expected to double to 14 million over the next two decades, assisted living has become the popular choice for housing or care. Assisted living represents a promising model of long-term care that blurs the sharp distinction between nursing homes and community-based care and reduces the gap between receiving long-term care in one's own home and in an "institution." Assisted Living: Needs, Practices, and Policies in Residential Care for the Elderly examines the evolving field of residential care and focuses on national issues of regulation, reimbursement, and staffing. The book is based on a four-state study of assisted living facilities and describes the facilities, the persons residing in them and their needs, and how the services vary by facility. Because one-third to two-thirds of residents in assisted living facilities have cognitive impairment, special attention is devoted to dementia care. The book also focuses on how today's long-term health care environment evolved, and it examines the future direction and implications of assisted living. Assisted Living: Needs, Practices, and Policies in Residential Care for the Elderly brings together a group of nationally recognized experts to help define the types of residential care that should be encouraged and sets guidelines for selecting an appropriate type of facility.
