At HEALTHTAC's/Senior Living News' recent event in San Diego, we presented five panels on various topics that are relevant to the senior-living profession. The third of those five panels shed some light on dementia, thanks to panelists Brian Browne of Cognitive Care Management, Verna Chisman of ALLURE & WELLNESS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, LLC, and Sonya Paterno of Oakmont Senior Living/Oakmont Management Group Llc. A couple of things they touched on are the fact that dementia is preventable and that Medicare has a new program called GUIDE that is designed to help keep dementia patients in IL and AL longer.

“Everyone in attendance had a clear presence of mind in their field that made every interaction worthwhile. I found myself increasingly more curious by the hour, not just by the day. Each individual I spoke with came to the meeting with a business initiative or with specific intentions to learn more about industry specific challenges they could contribute to or resolve through connecting with others. It was impressive to witness.” ­ Laura Willingham, the COO at Milestone Retirement Communities, spoke on a panel at our recent executive event in San Diego. The paragraph above was one of many incredible things that Laura said in an in-depth email she sent praising the event. The entire HEALTHTAC - Senior Living Events company is buzzing over Laura's email. If you're invited to a HEALTHTAC executive event, remember Laura's comment above and also this one, which she included her email as well: “The only question I have about future meetings is how I am going to ensure a balanced rotation of leaders from Milestone attend HealthTac events while squeezing a few more myself!” Caryl Ridgeway Cayden Ridgeway Chad Bonsell
