Get Educated
What you don’t know can hurt you. Through our proprietary trainings, keynotes, and summits your organization will develop an informed understanding of the needs, abilities, behaviors, and issues facing older adults–and those who are affected by them. This foundational knowledge is crucial to your organization’s ability to deliver appropriate services, create products, and implement policies and practices, so you stop wasting time and resources and losing money.
Dive Deep
In addition to exploring your known challenges, we work with you to uncover differing conceptions and hidden issues so you can clarify the problem before the problem via our Executive Forums and Strategic Clarifier Workshops. Follow up with stakeholder and team strategy sessions combined with our review of your key materials provides a deeper understanding and a more accurate perspective on which to build.
An Impactful Initiative
The above foundational services inform the creation of your custom Strategic Roadmap which lays out the issues, recommendations, and strategies so we can create and implement an impactful Silver To Gold Initiative to further transform your organization.
Case Studies: Select Past Strategic Initiatives
Equity by Design
Working with AARP International, Silver to Gold co-developed and co-implemented a multi-year initiative for built environment stakeholders, agencies, and organizations so that they can generate a quantum leap in the creation of Enabling + Equitable Housing and Communities to improve the lives of the people they serve. Beginning with the facilitation of a summit for transatlantic built environment leaders, the virtual events have reached people in over 25 countries around the world and is still making an impact.
Age Friendly Center for Excellence
We helped create and lead one of the United States’ first Age-Friendly Centers for Excellence in a public-private partnership. The overarching goal was to provide resources to enable municipalities and organizations to better meet the needs of older adults. The project included the development and implementation of a virtual workshop series and guide for municipalities.
Enable by Design
In a multi-year initiative we helped a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) better understand the older adults they serve so they could improve the lives of their residents and make things easier for staff. Resident focus groups uncovered crucial unknown issues. Training workshops educated administrative, direct care, and maintenance staff on sensory & physiological age-related changes, and the impact of the built environment on both residents’ functioning and on caregiving. Our custom manual is an ongoing resource for maintenance staff on specific design features that informs enabling renovations and aids in the evaluation of spaces.
