The expectations seniors have for healthy aging is changing and it is up to continuing care retirement communities (CCRC), also referred to as life plan communities, to adapt. A tenured leader in senior living and long-term care dives into the changes, challenges and opportunities ahead to ensure long-lasting success for CCRCs.

Eva Bering is an expert on enhancing the experience of aging. In this episode with Netsmart Senior Solution Strategist Maggie Cameron, Bering taps into her extensive background to discuss what leadership at life plan communities need to focus on to provide the best possible experience for their residents and staff.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What questions CEOs of nonprofit CCRCs should be addressing with the board chair
  • How leaders can lean into digital transformation
  • Technology’s role in the CCRC
  • The pivot to value-based reimbursement
  • How CCRCs can stay competitive in the market
