Manage episode 351407142 series 3432492
This #ActivitiesStrong Executive Edition features Jill Vitale-Aussem, President and CEO of Christian Living Communities. During the Q&A session, Jill describes why she believes that ageist beliefs in the senior living industry and society at large result in communities that are built around the idea that older adults have nothing left to give and no purpose. Jill outlines steps that activity and life enrichment professionals can take to disrupt this unhealthy model, shifting a customer service model to a model of citizenship: True community-building happens when purpose and meaningful engagement is an organization-wide effort and successful models of wellbeing are enabled by honoring Elders as contributing citizens of the community.
Jill’s book: “Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living: A Mindshift”
