Beyond memory care: Building dementia-inclusive communities through integrated wellness

Tuesday, July 14 @ 1 - 2 PM ET / 12 - 1 PM CT

Dementia inclusion cannot live only in memory care. People living with cognitive change are part of the full community: independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, dining rooms, hallways, wellness programs, family life, spiritual life, and everyday routines.

Featuring Kirsten Jacobs, MSW, from LeadingAge and Teffie Landmann, COTA/L, from Landis Communities, this session should help the audience see dementia inclusion as a community-wide movement, not a department, neighborhood, or checklist. The goal is not to dismiss safety. The goal is to ask whether safety is helping people live fully, or whether life has quietly been reduced to safety.

Designing for life: Moving beyond “beautiful” memory support

Tuesday, August 18 @ 1 - 2 PM ET / 12 - 1 PM CT

Memory support design is often judged by how beautiful, modern, or hospitality-forward a space feels. But beauty alone does not create purpose, autonomy, connection, or meaningful engagement.

This session explores how memory support environments can move from passive décor to active engagement tools. Michael Zywicki and Jennifer Boonstra will share how Anthem Memory Care thinks about designing spaces that support resident identity, staff workflows, family confidence, and daily life, not just the tour experience.

From burnout to belonging: Staffing memory care for what actually matters

Tuesday, September 15 @ 1 - 2 PM ET / 12 - 1 PM CT

This session connects the dots between turnover and staffing models in memory care. When engagement is under-resourced or pushed onto already stretched nursing teams, burnout follows—and residents feel it.

Led by Amber Dahle and Traci Taylor-Roberts from Harmony Senior Services, we’ll explore how to redesign staffing around resident needs, not legacy structures; elevating life enrichment as a core function, clarifying roles across the interdisciplinary team, and making the case for investment using data and outcomes. Attendees will walk away with practical strategies to reduce turnover, improve staff experience, and build communities where both residents and teams can truly thrive.

Aging is changing—and senior living must evolve with it. Living Longer, Better was created to champion a more connected, purpose-driven approach to community life. By empowering teams with knowledge, creativity, measurable insights, and actionable strategies, the series supports a future where every resident experiences meaningful engagement, every day.

Our mission is simple but powerful: help communities bring purpose, connection, and joy to the forefront of aging—supported by the data that proves its impact.
