UNITE TO FOCUS ON THE “WE” ISSUES
ENHANCING OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE: SENIOR LIVING IQ Argentum's Senior Living IQ initiative is focused on supporting the ongoing investment in quality of life and quality of care for residents of senior living communities. Centering initially on resident safety and emergency preparedness, Senior Living IQ equips operators with resources for improving quality through best practices, toolkits, and industry standards that enhance resident safety within the senior living industry. seniorlivingiq.org
ATTRACTING TALENT: SENIOR LIVING WORKSSenior Living Works is Argentum's response to the recruitment and retention challenges facing the industry. In collaboration with hundreds of industry employees who have signed up to be Senior Living Works Ambassadors, Argentum and its members are getting the word out that senior living offers a rewarding and fulfilling career.
In 2019, Senior Living Works will provide expanded information on educational programs, professional development opportunities, and career postings for current employees and future job seekers in the industry. seniorliving.works
Argentum and its members are focused on the ‘we’ issues facing senior living operators that no one company can address alone. The ‘we’ issues that effect and impact our communities like a shifting public policy environment, enhancing operational excellence, attracting and retaining talent, and growing occupancy. Join us in advancing the industry through accountability to one another.

RETAINING TALENT: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CERTIFICATIONAs an industry, we need to invest in our future leaders and provide opportunities for ongoing learning and skills development. Providing employees opportunities to fulfill their desire for professional growth is critical to retention. The Certified Director of Assisted Living (CDAL) credential is the gold standard for the assisted living industry. A CDAL credential ensures an executive director’s ability to extend the highest quality of care to residents, foster leadership, and support your company in gaining a competitive advantage. slcccertification.org

GROWING OCCUPANCY: SALES COUNSELOR CERTIFICATEBeing fluent in our industry’s terminology early on allows a sales counselor to thoroughly guide prospective residents and their families through the transition from life at home to life at a community. The sales certificate program decreases the learning curve for sales professionals and new hires so that they can easily onboard at a fraction of the time and cost. argentum.org/salescertificate
