OPTION OVERVIEW
This option prepares students in various aspects of the
management of assisted living communities. Managing an
assisted living complex requires skills in many areas. The director
of a facility is comparable in scope to that of the general manager
at a resort hotel. Your guests, however, are long term instead of
transient. This creates a different focus in terms of both sales
and service.
Day to day management of the facility and its programs has many
similarities to Hospitality Management, the ability to maintain
the highest level of service being imperative. The terms ‘Guest’
and ‘Resident’ become interchangeable within this segment of
the industry. Management must provide hotel based services
including dining room service, housekeeping and entertainment in
order to meet guest needs. The medical and social requirements
of residents demand a strong understanding of geriatric care in
order to manage healthcare providers.
CAREER OUTLOOK
According to the Assisted Living Federation of America there
are 36,000 assisted living communities nationwide serving more
than one million senior citizens. Forty-one states, including
Massachusetts, allow low-income residents to live in assisted
living. The 74 million boomers who are now considering this option
for their parents will be the next generation of assisted living
residents, making it the most preferred and fastest growing longterm
care option for seniors.
The career outlook is very good in the underserved, almost
non-existent �eld of Assisted Living Management. The industry
is experiencing rapid growth and there are very few programs
preparing skilled managers able to meet the diverse needs of the
market. These factors combine to provide a strong job market for
graduates.
