Challenging Traditional Aging Models

Nexus Insights President Bob Kramer will be challenging traditional approaches to aging and aging services in a live, online event hosted by The Eden Alternative. The event, which is free to attend, will stream live on Facebook and YouTube on May 6th at 3:30PM Eastern Time.

Kramer will be joined by Jill Vitale-Aussem, President and CEO of The Eden Alternative, for a discussion on ‘Rethinking Aging and Aging Services.’ Kramer and Vitale-Aussem, who recently joined Nexus Insights in the role of Advisor, will share insights on how COVID has impacted the senior living industry, reflecting on both the permanent changes and the opportunities that might result both in and out of the field of aging and aging services.

Vitale-Aussem describes Kramer, the founder and former CEO of The National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC), as “one of senior living’s most influential thought leaders.” She says, “We’re thrilled to have Bob Kramer join us on our Eden Alternative Live show. Bob’s voice and vision are perfectly aligned with the Eden Alternative’s work to disrupt the traditional framework of aging services, and drive empowered cultures of purpose, growth, meaning and belonging.”

Less than a month ago, amidst the virus chaos and coverage, serial entrepreneur Kramer recognized a terrific failing for the underserved senior population, which spurred the creation of Nexus Insights. The company leverages industry thought leaders and experts to help organizations think about, plan for and engage staff for their role in the future of our older adults and the world in which they thrive.

“The latent and blatant ageism portrayed in response to COVID-19 was a clear signal that we need to think differently about aging and the role of older adults,” says Kramer. “Nexus will lead organizations through the development of actionable, person-centered models which will reflect equally how we engage with older adults and how they engage with us.”

The Eden Alternative is an international, non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to creating quality of life for Elders and their care partners, wherever they may live. Their mission is to improve the lives of the Elder and their Care Partners by transforming the communities where they live and work.

The live event is free to attend and will be broadcast live to Facebook and YouTube. These platforms allow people to join and watch in real time, engage in real time dialogue and ask questions during the event. Those unable to join during the event can view a recording later, and will still have the opportunity to comment and ask questions.
