After decades of running on a relatively static model, the Senior Living industry is experiencing a whirlwind of change. Partially spurred by an aging population and mounting operational costs, Senior Providers are increasingly focusing on enhancing quality of life on various fronts. In some instances, this involves rethinking the way Senior Living communities are constructed, from the layout of the building to the amenities that are readily available to each resident.
This is a truly dynamic time for Senior Providers, as innovative minds flock to this industry to enact changes that can benefit caregivers and care recipients alike for years to come. Here at Independa, we're excited to be a part of this evolution, which is why we try to share examples of this new era of senior care. Recently, Senior Housing News showcased Wellbrooke of Westfield, an assisted living community that embodies the changing face of this industry.
The source reports that the spacious residential community resembles a hotel inside and out, immediately establishing that the top priority at Westbrooke of Westfield is making care recipients feel catered to.
"Baby Boomers are demanding the kind of high-end, hospitality-oriented amenities that Wellbrooke of Westfield offer," explained Zeke Turner, CEO of Mainstreet Capital – the real estate investment firm that backed the project – to the source. "This is a meaningful paradigm shift and just one of the many Centers we are building to transform the industry across the United States."
Of course, Baby Boomers are looking for more than a welcoming appearance. By incorporating telecare innovations like Independa's engagement software, which is embedded within the TV, you can appeal to discerning Baby Boomers while demonstrating your commitment to personalized care and connectivity.
