Senior Living the Career of a Lifetime


Making BY JANE ADLER


GREAT LEADERS OFTEN HAVE HUMBLE BEGINNINGS. Many start their careers in front-line positions, but through hard work and passion for the mission, they rise through the ranks of senior living—an industry rich with plentiful opportunities for advancement. Along the way, they learn some important lessons too. Take, for example, Lisa Fordyce. She is currently chief operating officer at Senior Lifestyle Corporation, a Chicago- based senior living company with more than 170 communities in 26 states. But she traces her success to the start she got in high school when she took a caregiving class. The curriculum included work at a nursing home where she learned how to properly bathe, dress, and groom residents.
