Thank you for the reminder! One of my pet peeves is to hear “diaper” instead of adult protective wear- even better yet, say “Let’s change your clothes”- why mention the need for the change. Words do matter!

Great message, Jill. This is applicable to many so many aspects of life, not just industry-specific.

This week was our annual SPARK Leadership Summit at Christian Living Communities! More than 70 of CLC-Cappella's clinical, operational, and sales & marketing leaders from across the state convened at our Englewood support office. On our second day, we reached more than 130 team members, family members, and residents who gathered together to learn more about Living Well with Dementia. We were joined by international dementia educator Jessica Luh-Kim and Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) board member Mark Timmons, who was diagnosed at 48 years old with early onset Alzheimer’s. The pair helped us connect the dots between The Eden Alternative Domains of Well-Being, our Rhythms Dementia approach, and our desire to create environments of true belonging and citizenship for everyone working, living, and visiting our communities. It was an energizing two days of learning, growth, camaraderie, celebration, and recommitment to our vision and mission. Learn more about our Rhythms Dementia approach at https://lnkd.in/gcZtHASs. A special thanks to our sponsors for supporting this event!

“A dementia diagnosis is not the end of your story. Turn the page, there’s a new chapter ahead.” The way we typically frame dementia is disabling and harmful. Today we spent the day with Jessica L. along with Mark Timmons from Dementia Action Alliance (DAA). Mark, who is living with dementia, reminded us that those living with dementia are the true experts. Jessica and Mark worked with team members, residents and families to explore the power of supporting true well-being for those living with dementia as well as their care partners. What an amazing day at Christian Living Communities!

These two people are the reason I’m still in this field. I remember being a young nursing home administrator and realizing that the way nursing homes were run was dehumanizing and soul crushing but I had no idea how to fix it or that it really could be different. The Eden Alternative showed me the path forward and gave me the tools to transform myself and my community. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Bill Thomas and Jude. Thanks to The Eden Alternative for a great conference!

Owning my age at the Eden Alternative conference. If anyone should be embracing our age it’s those of us working in the senior living field. Super excited to hit level 55 in a few months! #ownyourage

Thanks Christopher Field for the great “Disrupting for Good” keynote today. “What are the uncomfortable truths in your field and your organization?” I’ll be spending more time pondering that question. Angie McAllister
