Day by Day, You Help Bring Back the Life We Knew
“Working safely may get old, but so do those who practice it.” —Author unknown
Every day the emails with good news come my way: A community is COVID-19 free. Another has vaccinated all residents. One is opening up to outdoor visits; another has let residents back into the dining room (at a safe distance). Each step and each number represent a life that is getting that much closer to normal.
It is an astonishing achievement, and you’re behind it. It goes on every day, through the checklists and the donning and doffing, the masks and the meals delivered, the changing requirements and recommendations, the families reassured. Every day is one day closer to normal. Getting us there has taken a dedication to safety and quality greater than anyone could have imagined a year ago. The stories and tips in this issue are just the beginning of the new learning and understanding emerging from this crisis. Getting back to normal for Argentum will mean hosting live events, where we can invite you to share knowledge, stories, discoveries, and some good times. We’re moving ahead with our annual Senior Living Executive Conference, September 13 to 15 in Phoenix. We’re coming up with some special features I hope I can tell you more about next issue.
But one piece of great news is that the Executive Director Leadership Institute is scheduled to be live at the conference again this year. The cohort of community leaders who go through this intensive at the conference develop professional relationships that last years—it’s that kind of experience. Sign up for conference updates at
conference.argentum.org, and you’ll hear about what’s to come. It will be great to be able to say, “See you soon!” and mean it.
