The November 9th webinar explored topics ranging from building options to internal and external factors influencing the success of independent living buildings with assisted living offerings. A prominent figure in the senior living industry, Powell’s insights focused on the development and operational facets of independent living models, expectations of independent living residents, and essential criteria companies seek when incorporating independent living within their communities. The session also touched on regulatory implications, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the landscape.
