Wednesday, May 24, 2023 | 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Today’s senior living providers are facing a turbulent set of headwinds – COVID recovery, an aging population, government regulation, rising interest rates, etc. – this session investigates how organizations are making decisions now to position their communities for the future of age-qualified living. 

This session will call on the experience of Pat Crump, CEO of Morningside Ministries and Morningside’s development partner John Merkins, as well as Army Residence Community’s CFO Gordon Shoger and development partner, Brian Schiff, to examine how senior living providers are preparing their communities for the future of senior living.

In the case of Morningside Ministries, Pat and John will discuss their renovation of the Chandler Estates campus into an affordable middle market option and the various other initiatives Morningside is undertaking including.

 “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.

 “If You’re Not at the Table, You’re Probably on the Menu” 
Thursday, May 4, 2023 | 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

Many non-profit organizations are not positioned to react when mergers and acquisitions and affiliation opportunities arise.  This session explores steps management can take to be in a position of strength when considering future acquisitions or a sponsorship transition of your own ministry. We will look at steps providers are taking with their Board to be proactive to be at the table when mission-advancing opportunities are included on the menu. Attendees will take away tools that their Board can adopt to ensure alignment and board buy-in when evaluating opportunities.

  • Describe the importance of keeping your board up to date with the type and velocity of affiliations and sponsorship transitions happening in the senior living industry.
  • Explain how other non-profits and for-profits are successfully positioning themselves to grow (and/or divest) via mergers and acquisitions.
  • Explore how to use the take-away tool and how it can be customized for your community.  A sample will be discussed and the tool will be available for providers to ‘take-home’ after the session.
