August 1, 2024

Whether you’re an individual or an organization considering Senior Living Bootcamp, it’s fair to ask who this program is for. Our program is open to those who are interested in maximizing their understanding of senior living operations. Follow as we break down who the program is designed for and decide if it's right for you!

For Every Part of the Industry

No matter where you are in the seniors housing industry, there is something to gain from Senior Living Bootcamp. Here are the different members of the industry who can benefit from the program. This list isn’t all-inclusive, but it can help you pinpoint which category you may fall in. 

Someone Learning the Industry

With the projected growth of our industry, we can anticipate an upswing of new members joining the seniors housing workforce. Although there are a lot of industries that easily translate over to ours, there are nuances to seniors housing that can only be understood through hands-on experience. Although understanding comes with time, Senior Living Bootcamp helps concentrate what a new member of seniors housing needs down to a five day experience.

Members of the Industry Who Feel Disconnected from Communities 

Maybe you have been a member of this industry for some time now, but you still feel like you don’t fully understand the community experience. The beauty of our industry is that seniors housing is a place where a large variety of sub-industries come together under the umbrella of seniors housing. This means that some corners of the industry, though essential, aren’t working in close proximity to communities. Our program helps bridge the gap between where you are and communities. We believe that a deeper understanding of what our residents experience on a daily basis can help enhance the work of every part of the industry.

Someone Considering Joining the Industry

Our program also invites interested professionals who may not be in the industry yet. Bootcamp can serve as a first exposure to seniors housing to help students determine if this is the industry they want to pursue. Senior Living Bootcamp can also serve as a valuable asset to students looking to fulfill practicums for further education.

Someone With A Desire to Learn

Solinity Founder and CEO, Josh Crisp, set out to create a program that was an immersive experience to truly gain a first-hand look into seniors housing. With this in mind, we believe participants who will benefit the most from bootcamp are participants who are willing to learn. A lot of information and experience is condensed into five days with journaling exercises in place to help reinforce what bootcamp members are learning each day. Your schedule will follow a similar pattern as the one below:

Day 1: Administrative - office management, shadow tours, respond to resident or family inquiries.

Day 2: Clinical - spend time with the DON; learn what med passes are like; shadow CNAs and caregivers. 

Day 3: Dining - assist the dining team with food preparation, distribution, clean-up, and planning. 

Day 4: Maintenance - shadow maintenance team members and assist with jobs around the community, learn what tasks and responsibilities they have daily. 

Day 5: Activities - assist activities director and CNAs with the preparation, execution, clean-up, and planning of activities. Learn about all the details and decisions that go into choosing and planning activities.
