The facilitators:
Scott Saffert, Director of Marketing, at The Glenn Hopkins Catholic Senior Living Community, has built his 30+ year career in long term care services working across the continuum of care in skilled nursing, adult day, independent living, assisted living and memory care service communities in a variety of director and social service roles.  His colleague at The Glenn, Barb Fordyce, has spent much of her 30+ career in management and quality improvement roles, but in the more acute side of healthcare, hospitals and clinics, prior to entering the world of senior living options.
Both Scott and Barb have a passion for working with seniors and their caregiving family members who are dealing with the challenges of health and aging, and are finding themselves challenged by having to navigate the maze of senior industry jargon, resources and options, often while juggling careers and children.
