110-B. Data-Driven Methods to Extend Independence and Healthspan
Many life plan communities implement robust wellness programs to help residents live independently longer and extend their healthspan. Yet these communities often overlook less visible but equally influential factors that affect residents' long-term independence. This session will showcase a life plan community that uses data-driven, behaviorally informed methods to assess residents' strengths and vulnerabilities, help residents interpret their assessment results, educate them about issues affecting independence, and enable them to co-design targeted interventions. Learn how to make data-informed programming decisions that meet residents' needs, support independence, and align with organizational strategies to help residents live independently longer.
