I welcome as a guest blogger Mr. Anthony Santiago, CEO of a new and exciting senior housing group called Affinitas Life. This innovative company applies Blue Ocean thinking to senior housing and arrives at a refreshingly different destination than most others. Expect to hear more about this very creative and imaginative group.
Achieving long term success in the highly competitive senior housing industry requires developers to adapt a vision that reaches beyond the buildings they construct and include a strategy to support the numerous health needs of its aging residents. A system of integrated health data storage and analysis is a necessity to realize this goal.
We discovered an innovative organization that is spearheading this initiative – Illumination Analytics, developed by a Johns Hopkins trained physician, Dr. Steven Fuller. Dr. Fuller has developed a system which uses highly selected but easily available health data to create HEALTH PROFILES for an assisted living residence. This delivers a venue to us operators and consultants that facilitates a quantitative approach to improve resident retention and attrition. Managers access user friendly dashboards that allow them to ‘visualize’ key performance indicators that yield invaluable insights which we believe will maximize resident health and independence.
These unique analytics enable a health centric approach that we can now use as another barometer in our toolbox around our move-ins and move-outs. The right data, easily accessed and visualized, is the new commodity and standard for excellence.
