Markets for Long-Term Care – Epilogue to a Crisis
Congregate long-term care in the US, UK and Canada (nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, care homes, independent living, life plan communities, CCRC’s and others) were overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic. And a new virus variant is now spreading quickly within these operations.
While some providers fared better than others, a disproportionate share of COVID-19 related infections and deaths occurred in these facilities. What have we learned from this tragic loss of life?
This program will look at:
- demographics of demand & overcoming political somnolence
- obstacles and opportunities to adapt & change the physical, built environments of long-term care
- sourcing, recruiting & retaining care staff
- communications models to recruit support v. generate resilience
Wednesday, September 8th at 12:00 PM EDT/5:00 GMT
Most congregate care properties were designed and built decades ago for populations which have long since passed on.
The staff in these residences have been historically difficult to find and retain, and they too were decimated by the pandemic. Many staff continue to display psychological and behavioral impacts of the devastation that occurred in the sector.
Before the pandemic, operators were warning regulators and legislators of looming staffing crises because of years of inadequate pay and difficult working conditions. Inadequate staffing is currently at a crisis point, with many jurisdictions calling for, and implementing minimum pay, as well as staffing ratios in the wake of the pandemic.
With this severe backdrop, professionals in the sector are now attempting to draw attention to the need for significant, fundamental changes in the way we care for dependent and vulnerable individuals.
This program has been approved for Continuing Education for 1 total participant hours by NAB/NCERS – Approval 20220907-1-A76008-DL.
Join us on Wednesday, September 8th at 12:00 PM EDT/5:00 GMT and continue the ongoing dialogue.

WHY THIS WEBINAR: The need for significant, fundamental changes in the way we care for dependent and vulnerable individuals cannot be ignored.
The intent of this program is to further an ongoing dialogue about how to improve services to some of the most needy populations in our societies.
Most congregate care properties were designed and built decades ago by architects who couldn’t anticipate the needs of contemporary residents; the occupants for whom they planned have long since passed on. Multiple beds in the same room, shared lavatories, common bathing facilities and antiquated (if any) central ventilation systems. These design features conspire to help infections spread, not to contain a pandemic.
As if this wasn’t enough, staff in these residences have historically been difficult to recruit and retain, and many of them work multiple jobs, acting as transportation hosts to all infections circulating in the community, or the facilities where they work. Because of this, staff were also decimated by the pandemic. Many staff continue to display psychological and behavioral impacts of the devastation that occurred.
Join us on Wednesday, September 8th at 12:00 EDT for a webinar and open discussion. Facilitated by Irving Stackpole.
If you are a decision-maker or manager in seniors housing, assisted living, skilled nursing or CCRC, this premium webinar offers an unbiased glimpse into the methods for success in your project, presented by experienced experts in the congregate long-term care market.
This session will be recorded, including participants questions and answers, but will be made available ONLY to participants after the webinar.
