You are unable to manage personal care, household tasks, or family responsibilities due to age-related or health-related challenges. 2. You or a family member is preparing for discharge from the hospital and requires assistance with post-hospital care. 3. You are missing work and feeling burnt out trying to manage care for a loved one. 4. The thought of you or a loved one living alone causes worries and anxiety for everyone's safety and well-being. 5.

Elizabeth Audette-Bourdeau post reminded of a challenge in my own profession, Sales.  Sales reps can spend ½ - ¾ of their workweek on NRG’s: non revenue generating activities.  It’s not that reps don’t want to spend more time selling, it’s just they struggle to get through “the crap.” What is the crap?  Administrative tasks dominate sales reps’ time. In fact, 14.8% of an average week is spent on these tasks As a revenue leader, I measure our reps' time spent on NRG’s and actively work to minimise it.  Less NRG’s, more revenue. I wonder if a similar KPI is needed in Senior Living: non-resident activity?  Less non-resident activities, more resident facing time fostering social connections.
