A Framework for the Future of Senior Living: Public Policy


F


ollowing Argentum’s 2015 listen- ing tour, the association has been working with leaders from owner/


operator and industry partner member companies to establish committees focused on each imperative (workforce develop- ment, quality improvement, operational excellence, consumer choice, and memory care) as well as on senior living public pol- icy. Each committee’s strategic framework brings forth opportunities and goals; how- ever, no one plan stands alone in achieving a better future for seniors and those who care for them. The plans present a foundation for improving the future of the senior living industry and together will pave a path for overall success as the industry prepares for an aging population and an ever-increasing demand for care and services in the years to come.

The industry will be facing increased scrutiny as policy mak- ers are forced to contend with a looming long term care crisis. “Our advocacy efforts are needed more


now than ever to ensure that the rights of employees, residents, families, and providers are protected,” said Ed Kenny, chair of the Argentum senior living public policy com- mittee and chairman and chief executive officer of Life Care Services. A changing health care system, advances
