Occupancy doesn't belong to one department. Marketing creates awareness. Sales builds relationships. Operations delivers the experience. And every interaction with a prospective resident or family shapes how they see your organization. That's why the Sales and Marketing Certificate Program goes beyond traditional sales and marketing tactics.

CMS just raised the bar for nursing home Quality Measures. Do you know what that means for your organization?

Early Bird registration ends tomorrow, Aug. 14, for LeadingAge Minnesota's Annual Meeting & Leadership Forum, Sept. 15–18 at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa. If you've been considering whether three days away is worth the investment, consider what those three days are designed to give you: perspective you don't always have time to find in the day-to-day.

Quality improvement isn't a one-time initiative — it's an ongoing commitment to delivering the best possible care and outcomes. Whether you're looking for timely updates on today's federal quality programs or want to build deeper expertise in quality leadership, LeadingAge Minnesota offers education designed to help you strengthen performance, improve outcomes, and lead with confidence.

The journey to choosing a senior living community has changed dramatically. Long before a prospective resident or family schedules a tour, they've likely explored your website, read online reviews, compared communities, and formed first impressions based on what they've found.

Due to interest from members, we've extended the Early Bird registration deadline to Friday, July 31 for One Mission, Two Leaders: Building a Strong CEO + Board Chair Partnership.

Most leaders don’t struggle because they lack answers, but because they rarely have time to ask the questions that matter.

Quality reporting requirements continue to evolve. Make sure your knowledge keeps pace.

Quality improvement isn't just a regulatory requirement — it's the foundation for safer care, stronger teams, and better resident outcomes.

Leadership has a funny paradox. The busier we become, the harder it is to find time to think strategically. Our calendars fill with meetings, emails, staffing issues, budgets, compliance requirements, and the countless decisions that keep our organizations moving forward.

For aging services organizations with governing boards, the partnership between the CEO/executive director and board chair plays an important role in organizational success. When that relationship is built on trust, communication, and shared leadership, the organization is better equipped to navigate change, make strategic decisions, and advance its mission.

What makes the Annual Meeting & Leadership Forum different from other educational events? It starts with purpose. While many education programs focus on regulations, operations, or role-specific skills, Annual Meeting is intentionally designed to help leaders step back from the day-to-day and focus on the bigger picture.

Professional development doesn't always happen on a conference schedule. Whether you're working toward license renewal, onboarding a new leader, or simply looking for practical ideas you can put to work right away, our new 5-Pack Webinar Bundle makes continuing education more flexible—and more affordable.

Today’s senior living consumer is informed, connected, and expecting more than a brochure and a tour. Successful communities need a thoughtful strategy that combines marketing, relationship-building, and a deep understanding of what families value most.

Your MDS data influences far more than documentation, it drives quality measures, Five-Star ratings, Value-Based Purchasing outcomes, and reimbursement.

The relationship between a CEO/executive director and board chair can shape an organization's ability to navigate change, make strategic decisions, and advance its mission. As aging services organizations face increasing complexity, strong governance and leadership alignment have never been more important.

Strong governance starts with a strong partnership. LeadingAge Minnesota is pleased to introduce a new workshop designed exclusively for CEOs/executive directors and board chairs of aging services organizations.

As federal quality programs continue to evolve, staying current is more important than ever. This August, don’t miss Nursing Home Quality Measures and Programs for Quality Leaders, a three-part webinar series designed for nursing home professionals responsible for quality reporting, compliance, and performance improvement.

Ready to strengthen your organization’s quality, safety, and performance improvement efforts? The Quality Specialist Certificate Program is for you.
