The thing that gets most businesses (including Senior Living Providers) into trouble more than anything else is assuming the way things worked before will continue to work.

How do great Senior Living providers become even better? Do they need access to more and new information, or do they need an environment where they can look at existing conditions in different ways? Where can Senior Living providers...and vendors that serve them, go to ask hard questions and tackle difficult issues?

Steve Moran is a nationally known and sometimes controversial writer and speaker in the senior living industry. He publishes the online senior living website Senior Housing Forum where the core value is to publish articles, videos, podcasts and other resources that help senior living providers do a better job serving residents, team members and the local marketplace community. He has developed and operated large and small senior living communities and has worked with senior living communities to create better more productive cultures.

Senior Housing Forum is a website that is focused on publishing articles that are of interest to developers and operators of senior living communities.

There are 6 fundamental principals behind Senior Housing Forum

* We are Not Primarily a News Source – There are already several great free and paid sites that provide current senior living news, we are more focused on asking two questions:

* What does it mean?
* How will it impact the industry?


* We Question  Everything –  The thing that gets industries and businesses into trouble more than anything else is assuming the way things worked before (something that may in itself be an assumption that is not true) will continue to work.   We ask hard questions and tackle difficult issues.
* We Love Comments – It is of course great fun to get comments that agree with what our writers say, but we love contrary positions even more.  It is those comments that make the industry better.
* We Don’t Moderate Comments –  If you write a comment it will get published (unless of course it is SPAM and we have a pretty good filter for that.) Since we published our first article we have not removed more than one or two comments and never removed a comment because the opinion was contrary.
* We Are Curious People –  All of the regular writers are very curious people who know they don’t know it all.  We are always learning and challenging our own assumptions.
* We are Not Perfect –  Because of this we welcome comments, suggestions and criticisms and corrections of typos.

Good Word for Caregivers
God loves caregivers. Did you know that? Remember, he's one too. Say, it's good to share some good news with you, particularly if you're feeling a little bit blah, and that can happen. When you've expended your energies and you've gone beyond and you've given and you've given and then you had to give some more and you weren't quite ready for that and you're just into the blahs.

Well, let me tell you something. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Well, they will mount up with wings as eagles, they will run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Maybe you feel weary and faint and the blahs have taken over. What do you do? Wait on the Lord.

What does that mean, wait? Well, I think for one thing, it means linger in his presence. Stay in his presence for a while. I know we live and move and have our being in him,
