Education Session:

Planning the Future: For Those Who Don’t Own a Crystal Ball  
Thursday, June 22, 2023 | 9:45 am – 11:00 am 

Astronomical construction costs and disruptive supply chain issues are key factors delaying or effectively freezing many expansion initiatives and capital projects. Combine those with a focus on the historic labor shortage and lingering effects of the COVID Pandemic, and it is clear why so many senior living organizations have put plans on hold in order to weather the storm. For many organizations, these challenges may create an exciting opportunity to plan for the future. In this highly competitive and ever-changing market, realigning and repositioning assists is critical in order to sustain the organization longer term. 

This session will showcase two organizations in particular, who chose master planning at this precise time; even while other capital projects were already in progress. Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) is a not-for-profit organization, providing retirement and senior care services for more than 90 years. Headquartered in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, they provide comprehensive services and accommodations to more than 6,000 seniors in 30 locations across the mid-Atlantic region of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and Delaware. Focused on their campus in North-west Philadelphia, PSL sought an exercise that would clearly identify a plan for the future that would offer new housing types it hadn’t envisioned before. Parker Health System was founded more than 110 years ago, as a place where people could age in a home-like setting. Since then, Parker has led the way in aging services and has been committed to challenging, changing, and expanding the idea of what it means to grow older in America. Parker has been in planning mode for a number of years, focusing on enhancing and better aligning each of its campuses and now in the midst of an enterprise-wide effort, guided by the premise of heightening performance and outcomes. This session will offer insight on driving factors; mission, finances, personnel, leading to a clear path towards a sustainable future for the organizations and residents they serve. The panelists will outline and discuss key elements of the process including; identification of need and performance of an asset, allocation of resources and access to funding, reflection on mission, selection of a key professional partners, understanding of logistics and communication to residents and staff, and final evaluation.

Presenters:   

  • James Bodine, Executive Vice President 
  • Steve Leone, Principal, Spiezle Architectural Group, Inc.
  • Dan Davis, President & CEO Presbyterian Senior Living
  • Pam Smith, Director of Business Development for Parker Life

 “Stuck in the Middle: Strategy & Design to Serve the Mid-Income Senior Market “
Wednesday, May 17, 2023 | 8 am – 9 am

As a country and industry, we have done an excellent job meeting the healthcare and housing needs of high-net-worth and upper-middle-class older adults who can afford higher-end and market-rate senior living. However, we are struggling to meet the needs of our middle-income older adults, who arguably have fewer options than their counterparts on either side of the spectrum. How do we meet the needs of the older adults who have enough income and assets to disqualify them for traditional affordable housing but not enough to afford an entrance-fee or private-pay senior living community? We’ll answer that question in an insight-filled session covering industry demographics trends and development strategies to make construction affordable and marketable to older adults on a fixed income.
