From its inception, Illumination Analytics was different. It was developed by a physician with a single, targeted, and pragmatic focus – to understand the health of Assisted Living residents.
It’s a paradox that so little is known about the health of these seniors and how it differs from the health of seniors who live in other settings. Indeed, even the most basic health question about this group eludes our current understanding: “What are the specific health reasons that cause seniors to move into assisted living?” And so many additional and important questions await answers.
The decision to move into assisted living is understandably huge for seniors, since it requires them to sell their homes and most of their possessions and leave everything familiar behind them. The only reason over 1 million residents choose this alternative is because they need assistance with managing their health.
If we are to do a good job managing the health of assisted living seniors, then we must thoroughly understand it, and this means developing meaningful metrics to measure their health.
This is the purpose of Illumination Analytics – to begin filling the void of health knowledge of assisted living residents.
We were recently introduced to a new and very like-minded group that appears to have a refreshingly novel and parallel approach to senior living – AFFINITAS Life. Our attraction to this creative and curious organization is that it supports an entirely different way of thinking about senior living. It encourages the merging of like-minded and innovative ideas using strategic relationships to learn about senior living residents’ health. Their goal is to offer an alternative option to the status quo within senior housing and an option to the traditional retirement living model. From what I have read, this kind of approach can evolutionize and transform the health management of senior living residents.
We believe this ‘different kind of thinking and approach’ to senior living is exactly what’s needed, and we can’t wait to learn more!”
