Pivoting your Community for the Future

The future of senior living communities requires leaders to strike a balance between addressing the daily needs of their community while investing human and capital resources to assure relevance and sustainability in the future.    Attendees will leave with an understanding of the project feasibility analysis process and the deliverables it will provide you and your Board of Directors.  Through the discussion, the steps in the process will be outlined, case studies shared and the importance of a collaborative, integrated approach where the design team, marketing, operations and finance all work together to create a feasible renovation, remodel or replacement project.
  • Identify the steps involved in a project feasibility analysis process when considering an expansion or repositioning: including master planning, development services, market study, and financial feasibility.
  • Recognize how this process could benefit your community through case studies illustrating unique outcomes.
  • Discuss the importance of aligning organizational and financial goals in the pursuit of an expansion or repositioning including how strategic and operational planning impacts project feasibility and what you can do now to prepare.
