"As the demographics of the United States shift toward a population that is made up of an increasing percentage of older adults and people with disabilities, the workforce that supports and enables these individuals is also shifting to meet the demands of this population. For many older adults and people with disabilities, their priorities include maximizing their independence, living in their own homes, and participating in their communities. In order to meet this population's demands, the workforce is adapting by modifying its training, by determining how to coordinate among the range of different professionals who might play a role in supporting any one older adult or individual with disabilities, and by identifying the ways in which technology might be helpful. To better understand how the increasing demand for supports and services will affect the nation's workforce, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a public workshop in June 2016, in Washington, DC. Participants aimed to identify how the health care workforce can be strengthened to support both community living and community participation for adults with disabilities and older adults. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop"--Publisher's description.

As a boy, Fee Stubblefield promised his fiercely independent grandmother that he would never "put her in an old folks' home." That aspirational promise, made with love and care, would be something he always remembered--and a commitment he eventually made within the senior housing and care industry. Seeking to create vibrant and engaging communities where we can thrive in our older years, Fee has encapsulated the best insights from his years in the industry in this book. He addresses everything from how to pick the right capital partners, hiring the best people for a culture of caring, introduces the concept of aspirational promises, addresses the deep issues in the industry exposed by Covid-19 and our attitudes toward a rapidly aging population. Fee's passion was born of an unusual upbringing as part of a family that owned and operated Lehman Hot Springs and its sacred healing waters, a metaphor for the care needed by our senior citizens. He learned business lessons, like most entrepreneurs, through the difficulties and victories of the Springs Living communities. However, regardless of the lessons--the central core of the Culture of Promise is transparency, accountability, care, respect, and a commitment to the people at the heart of that promise.
