As an HR executive, living and working with compassion means prioritizing the well-being of our employees, who in turn dedicate themselves to the care of our residents. Unlike my colleagues and co-workers, whose primary focus is directly on our residents—from custodians and maintenance staff to CNAs, LPNs, RNs—my focus is on the people who make our mission possible: our employees. Compassion in my role involves ensuring that our team members have the support they need to thrive, both professionally and personally. This means crafting and implementing policies and procedures that not only foster a positive work environment but also empower our staff to deliver the best possible care to our residents. By working compassionately, we create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and equipped to provide compassionate care. It’s about recognizing the vital role each team member plays and ensuring they have the resources and environment needed to succeed. When we care for our employees with the same dedication they show our residents, we build a stronger, more resilient organization. It’s a cycle of care that starts with us and radiates out to every individual we serve.
Get to know more about the Pavilions each week by learning more about our Mission, Vision, and Core Values! Our mission is to provide accessible, trusted and compassionate care that enhances quality of life for aging adults. One of the ways we do this is with compassion. We strive to deliver care in a most loving and empathetic manner as we would care for our own family. What does living and working with compassion mean to you?

On International Day of Older Persons, we celebrate the wisdom of older generations and the valuable lessons they offer. Karl Pillemer’s Legacy Project, which interviewed over 1,500 elderly individuals, highlighted key pieces of advice for a meaningful life: 1. Stop worrying 2. Pursue work you love 3. Foster meaningful relationships 4. Take responsibility for your own happiness These timeless lessons encourage us to live intentionally - focusing on joy, purpose, and connection. Australian palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware has done something remarkable. She’s taken the time to compile her patients’ viewpoints on universal subjects like regret, life purpose, and happiness; from the plethora of responses emerged five themes common to almost all of Ware’s patients. Ware assembled these reflections in her insightful book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. Read more here - https://lnkd.in/dXUMhAY

Did you hear KOSA and COPPA 2.0 were passed in the US senate? The Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act (KOSA) represents a significant legislative effort aimed at enhancing the safety and privacy of children and teenagers online. KOSA imposes a legal obligation on online platforms to take "reasonable" measures to protect minors from various online harms such as bullying, sexual exploitation, drug promotion, and mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. - Platforms are required to set the highest privacy settings by default for minors. - They must also facilitate easy deletion of personal data and manage the time minors spend on the service. - The act mandates parental control features that allow parents to monitor their children's privacy settings, and account activities, restrict purchases, and manage screen time. - Platforms must prevent unknown adults from contacting minors or accessing their personal information and limit the sharing of minors' geolocation data. - Social media platforms are required to allow minors to opt out of algorithm-based recommendation systems or at least restrict the categories of recommendations. Alongside KOSA, the Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0) was also passed. This act expands the original 1998 COPPA law by extending privacy protections to teenagers up to 16 years old. Prohibiting targeted advertising directed at children and teenagers. Mandating data deletion and creating a new division within the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) focused on youth marketing and privacy.
Parents, professionals and advocates... this a historic day we have been working toward for many years!

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), has unveiled a robust series of initiatives aimed at addressing the critical and longstanding shortage of direct care professionals. This workforce, the backbone of support for older adults and people with disabilities, is crucial for enabling millions to live with dignity in their communities rather than in institutional settings. The new measures, part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s broader efforts to bolster the nation’s caregiving infrastructure, promise a significant step forward in ensuring accessible, quality care for some of society’s most vulnerable.
