69-I. Changing Course on the Way to a Successful Affiliation

Think there’s only one path for a struggling senior living system seeking an affiliation with another organization? Think again. During this session, representatives of LeadingAge Gold Partner Ziegler will share the experiences of one organization that changed course in the middle of its search for affiliation so it could reassess and address operational challenges more deeply. Presenters will walk you through the organization’s affiliation process, point out the pivot points that signaled the need for a mid-course correction, and identify strategies that ultimately led to success. Learn the steps the organization took to “right the ship,” including the critical conversations its leaders had with residents and team members.
