Value-based care is reshaping the future of senior living - and in many communities, that future is already underway. From supporting ADLs to managing medications and reducing hospital visits, communities are already delivering the kind of proactive care that drives better outcomes. In this session, Jake Melvin, Director of Implementation at August Health, and Monica Reveles, COO at Parsons Group, will explore how to build on that foundation. They'll discuss the value senior living delivers every day and how communities can take the next step using data and technology. This webinar will offer practical insights on how to align care delivery, technology, and operations to drive better outcomes. Register now!
