Seniors Housing Vaccine Rollout and Infectious Disease Prevention: An Operations Playbook

The speed with which seniors housing residents and caregivers are vaccinated is key to curbing the coronavirus spread and will have major ramifications for occupancy numbers across the senior living continuum in 2021 and beyond. For operators, the stakes could not be higher.

This Seniors Housing Business webinar, “Seniors Housing Vaccine Rollout and Infectious Disease Prevention: An Operations Playbook,” examines how operators are handling the myriad issues surrounding COVID-19 vaccines.

In this timely broadcast, we’ll talk to both operators who’ve vaccinated their residents as well as operators with communities still in the queue.

The webinar is sponsored by Philips, a global health technology leader that provides safety and wellness solutions for senior living communities. Seniors Housing Business will host the discussion on Tuesday, Feb. 16, from 2:00 – 3:00 pm EST.

Among the topics to be addressed:

- How are operators educating staff, residents and adult children on the vaccines?
- Is it legal to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for employees? Should staff be offered incentives to get vaccinated?
- What are operators doing to mitigate infection control during the pandemic and moving forward?
- What logistical pitfalls at the state and federal level can potentially impede vaccination rollout at senior living communities?
- What is the potential impact if some staff and residents opt not to receive the vaccine? How should operators address vaccine fears and reluctance to be vaccinated?

Join us on Feb. 16 as a panel of experts discuss these pressing topics and more.

Confirmed panel speakers include Terri Cunliffe of Covenant Living Communities and Services, Andy Kohlberg of Kisco Senior Living, Kelly Andress of SageLife Senior Living, Mark Andrzejewski of MorningStar, Greg Cini of Kemper House, and moderator Chase Salyers of Koelsch Communities.
