Misti Powell, Co-Founder and Chief Program Officer of Civitas Senior Living, recently took center stage as a distinguished guest speaker in a well-attended Texas Assisted Living Association (TALA) webinar. The event featured industry experts and highlighted crucial considerations for creating successful independent living (IL) buildings with assisted living (AL) options and facilitating seamless transitions for residents.

The November 9th webinar explored topics ranging from building options to internal and external factors influencing the success of independent living buildings with assisted living offerings. A prominent figure in the senior living industry, Powell’s insights focused on the development and operational facets of independent living models, expectations of independent living residents, and essential criteria companies seek when incorporating independent living within their communities. The session also touched on regulatory implications, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the landscape.

Joining Powell in the discussion was Greg Hunteman, President of Pi Architects. Powell contributed his expertise to exploring architectural considerations for senior living communities. The dynamic exchange of ideas between Powell and Hunteman provided TALA attendees with a well-rounded perspective on creating and maintaining successful independent living options within senior living communities.

Powell emphasized the significance of aligning senior living communities with residents’ evolving needs and expectations in her engaging, informative presentation. Her wealth of industry experience, coupled with a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for seniors, made her a standout webinar contributor.
