Longevity alone is not the goal. Thriving is. In this thought-provoking conversation, Michelle Daniel, CEO of the Eden Alternative, Dr. Jennifer Carson, dementia inclusion advocate and researcher, and Kim Schmidt, CEO of Sherbrooke Community Centre, explore how we can design communities where well-being, dignity, and belonging extend across the full spectrum of life, including cognitive change.

Grounded in the Eden Alternative Domains of Well-being and informed by Dr. Carson’s work on dementia inclusion, this session challenges long-standing assumptions about safety, autonomy, and engagement in senior living.

At Sherbrooke Community Centre, Kim Schmidt and her team have brought these ideas to life by creating a truly dementia-inclusive community, including the bold decision to remove traditional locked doors and redesign the environment around trust, relationships, and shared responsibility.

Together, the panel will explore how person-directed living, inclusive design, and meaningful engagement can transform culture across senior living organizations. When we listen more deeply to people living with cognitive change, we discover insights that improve well-being for everyone.

Learning objectives:

1. Apply the Eden Alternative Domains of Well-being: Identify how the Domains of Well-being can be operationalized to support people living with cognitive change, and how these domains elevate culture, care, and connection across the entire community.
2. Integrate dementia inclusion into organizational culture: Explore Dr. Jennifer Carson’s dementia inclusion framework and discover practical strategies for shifting from protection-based models to empowerment-based models that honor identity, agency, and belonging.
3. Redefine wellness across the lifespan: Reframe longevity and wellness as universal human experiences and learn how insights from individuals living with cognitive change can inform inclusive design, engagement strategies, and measurable well-being outcomes for all.
