🌟 Opinion: How expanding a seniors tax credit can make life more affordable and ease pressure on long-term care🌟   Quebec’s tax credit for home-support services for seniors has seen healthier, happier seniors, a manageable waiting list for long-term-care beds and reduced pressure on hospitals and ERs. It’s time that we adopt a similar policy here in Ontario.   Read the article by ORCA’s CEO Cathy Hecimovich in the Toronto Star: https://lnkd.in/gYFz-6Kz   Learn more: www.seniorstaxcredit.ca

We had a short term project that we really enjoyed this year. As usual, it started with a phone call from a friend from the #seniorliving sector that I have known for years. He told me about a few of their retirement residences that were struggling with occupancy, and asked for our short term support. It was an opportunity to step into existing homes, with a team in place, and support them, as well as the regional team who were responsible for these homes. As many experts in the sector will confirm, occupancy is not only driven by the sales and marketing team, but rather it is impacted by all aspects of operations. So figuring out what needs to be addressed in order to fill the home requires spending time on the ground and engaging in building relationships and trust. We don't believe in coming in as the experts who have all the answers, but rather as a friendly support team, who will listen and learn, and help the team implement their own solutions, as well as offer ideas to be considered. Where necessary our team rolled up our sleeves and jumped in to help execute. We spent 4 months supporting 4 homes, and at the end of our contract all homes were trending up in occupancy. While we left a positive impact, we also gained knowledge, experience and new friendships, which we can never have too much of. #teamwork ClearPath Senior Living Inc.

As Living Water Retirement Residence is preparing for opening, we are now searching for an experienced Director of Wellness to join the team. This is a great opportunity to help start up a new community and build the department from scratch!

We're #hiring an experienced #seniorliving Director of Community Relations in Collingwood, Ontario. Apply today or share this post with your network.

One thing that is really special in working with a couple of our clients, is that they decided to build a retirement residence out of a very personal drive, it is a passion project. They have a vision of supporting their community, or leaving a legacy, by way of building this new residence and providing the services within it. It is very different to work with owners who treat the project like their baby. They care about every detail, from the logo to the colour of the kitchenette cabinetry. They want to be involved in the decision making of who to hire for the ED position, because that person is representing them personally! The family behind Ashley Oaks Retirement Residence had a vision of providing senior housing to their Croatian community. The man behind Living Water Retirement Residence is a strong believer in business as a mission. He has been watching the many retirees frequenting his resorts in Collingwood, and wanted to build a retirement residence to continue to serve them. Neither of these groups had any experience in #seniorliving but they have a passion and life experience, and they are counting on our ClearPath Senior Living Inc. team to help them translate their vision into an operating retirement residence. We are very honoured to be able to support them in living out their visions.

We love the new signs for Living Water Retirement Residence now installed around the Living Water Resorts properties. It's nice to be a part of a family :) #seniorliving #teamwork

Creating a logo is one of those interesting processes that I just love participating in. It needs to tell a story about who we are, in a very simple image. Getting it right is very important, because this will be the image that will represent the residence on every communication going forward. We want to be proud of it. In our initial meeting with Digital Seniority | Senior Living Digital Marketing, Web Design & Consulting, we told them that the logo of this new retirement residence needs to fit with the existing Living Water Resorts logos, and it needs to show that this will be a "resort style" retirement living residence. And so we started out with images hinting of waves, water drops, beach balls…. Then we got stuck, because nothing felt exactly right. As we were researching ideas, I had a thought – Larry Law, the owner, always says that the team at Living Waters Resorts serves with loving hearts. He refers to our hearts in almost every conversation I ever had with him. So perhaps we should try to find a way to incorporate a heart into this logo. When we presented that round of options to Larry, he was immediately drawn to the option with the heart image. He said that using a heart shape in the logo sends a very clear message: we are not only saying that we are serving with our hearts, we are showing it! I was very impressed with how Donald Buckle opened Microsoft paint and created a simple draft of where he thought we should go with this. A hidden graphic designer talent there! From there it was a quick team effort to get the exact right shape and colours. As a good humble leader Larry accepted the team’s opinion that we should stick with the corporate colours, and not go with a bold red heart. We are very happy with the final product. Let me know what you think. #seniorliving #teamwork
