Is Hospitality the Answer for Senior Living?

July 31, 2022

Is Hospitality the Answer
Hospitality has become a very popular topic in the senior living field. Communities featuring bistros and beer taps and the amenities of a fine hotel are popping up all around the country. Hospitality is seen as an approach that can attract baby boomers and eliminate the institutional feel that exists in many traditional communities. Indeed, the hospitality model has brought us more freedom and choice in services, higher quality dining experiences and less institutional designs. However, simply applying the concepts and operational structures of a hotel or resort without considering the significant differences inherent in senior living can backfire by undermining purpose and a sense of community. Senior living settings require a special approach – a blend
of hospitality, community building, and a focus on supporting meaningful purpose.
