Atlas Senior Living: Innovating the Future of Senior Living at Jamboree 2023

Excellence in senior living is only possible if the highest
standards of quality and innovation are aimed for, particularly in personalized
resident experiences and care, clinical services, constant improvement and
updating of logistical processes, but above all, through unconditional support
and continuous training for our team of associates.








Empowering Senior Living Staff through Continuous Training: Providing Excellent Care to Our Residents

To ensure the best experience in each of our Atlas Senior Living communities, the company holds its annual Jamboree, where heads of communities and regions participate. From March 6th to 9th, the leaders of the pillars of all communities attended the 2023 Jamboree in New Orleans, where they had the opportunity to share best practices and be trained in topics such as customer service, operations, and clinical services, among others.

We had so much fun with practical examples and interactive dynamics that helped us integrate knowledge meaningfully and share it with the team. 

“The 2023 New Orleans Jamboree was a hoot! The energy and camaraderie were amazing from the get-go! Great team building and lots of great information. What a pleasure to see and meet everyone we work with to make Atlas such a great success. The facilities, hotel, conference rooms were perfect! There was so much to do and see. I learned a lot and feel energized to take sales to the next level. Truly we are “all” committed to our residents and their families. We will continue to shine here in central Florida!”

-Catherine Hayes, Sales and Marketing Director Madison at Oviedo

Ms. Lori Owen from Lake Howard Heights

She joined the LHH team the week they had to begin the very tight original restrictions of Covid 19, but this didn’t waive her decision to come to us! They said they had been truly blessed to have her as a member of our team. Lori goes above and beyond every day for the residents that she cares for on the 1st floor of the assisted living and even cut her vacation short this past year to be in the community for the duration of Hurricane lan because she couldn’t stand the thoughts of her residents being frightened or having to deal with the storm and she not be here to help keep them calm and cared for.

Nikki Jaupi from Legacy at Savannah Quarters

It’s rare to have a team member that EVERYONE loves and can always count on. Her creative energy has been displayed throughout the community, from simple but elegant flyers and documents to building an Atlas Accolades Bucks storefront and many memory care community adornments, including a full-scale life-size holiday fireplace and mantle hand built with working fire-like lights!

When Nikki was told that she was nominated for her community, she was so humbled, but yet- said “WHY ME”? She even offered other names of team members to nominate! Because Nikki doesn’t even realize what an impact she has made on our community and residents.

 

 “Overall, her attention to detail, humbleness and how she makes us all feel is a gold star quality.  We are blessed and honored to have Nikki as a huge part of our resident’s journey. Even before I joined the Legacy team and had made visits to the community, I knew she was special and a gem”!
