July 31 • Covenant Village of Colorado • Westminster
9:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Now is the time to make employee retention a priority and get all your leaders on the same page! Join us July 31st for another powerful program with our workforce retention partners from Crescendo Strategies with a combination workshop of big-picture thinking about today's employment landscape along with immediately actionable strategies for reducing employee turnover across your organization. We'll dive deeper into why staff REALLY leave (beyond pay and schedules), learn ways to communicate with team members more effectively, and discuss how to maximize the time we have with each and every new hire to improve retention and reduce issues of continuity of care from so much staffing churn!

LeadingAge Colorado's Day on the Hill is an important opportunity to meet with your state legislators and advocate for the issues that matter to Colorado’s senior living and care providers. Critical issues in play during the 2019 legislative session, include:

• Across the board funding increases for Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) providers
• Targeted funding for Medicaid adult day services
• Significant cuts in reimbursement for the Programs of All-inclusive Care Elderly (PACE)
• Changes to the reserve requirements for life plan communities

LeadingAge Colorado’s Day on the Hill is designed to provide you direct access to your legislators to ensure that you have the opportunity to discuss these and other issues and make sure that the voice of senior living and care providers is heard by those making important policy decisions. 

We know that Recruitment and Retention are some of the biggest pain points in Senior Living and Aging Services, so we worked with Denise Scott to design a 7-part Series of webinars and in person events to assist you in tackling one of your biggest challenges in workforce development. Each session is designed to walk you through the entire process from recruitment to retention while providing content rich tools and support throughout.

The complete brochure can be viewed here.

These are challenging and exciting times. As LeadingAge Colorado turns 50 this year, we celebrate our humble beginnings, five decades of growth and diversification, and we look with optimism to what lies ahead for our association and our members.

There are great things in store for this year’s conference. And don’t miss the exhibition, the place to meet and visit with companies who supply the goods and services you use every day.
