Looking for your thoughts. What are you worrying about for 2014?
Wall Street Journal recently asked a select group of CEO’s what worries them for 2014. The specific question was what things that are out of your control worry you for 2014.
Here is the top 5 list they came up with:
- Keeping Energy Costs Under Control
- Implementation of Healthcare Reform
- Unknowns in the Global Economy
- Regulatory Uncertainty
- Consumer Spending
So here is my question: what worries you in 2014, either as a developer, operator or vendor? . . . Things that you can control or things that you can’t?
I’ll start
1. Wearing my Vigil Health Solutions hat, I worry that development will slow down because of either excess inventory or capital availability dries up. 2. I worry that the writing will become stale, not having enough value for readers to spend their morning coffee break here. Steve Moran

Good questions, Steve. Thank you for asking. My worries, which actually if I focus on what I have control on and not on what I do not – but as human nature has it – I do worry and here are mine:
1. That I continue living in Texas full-time.
2. I don’t have the stamina to take my content writing & strategy business to next level.
3. That I remain on the 2013 life path.
What a great way to start a Monday morning. It fits my mood.
Thanks, Steve, for giving me the space to purge.

Worry is fear. Fear is the opposite of love [St. John];

What concerns me is the lack of initiative in senior living communities to provide quality, safe fitness options taught by a certified senior fitness instructor as a proactive approach to remaining functional for as long as possible. Despite the fact that “falls” are a major threat to mobility and longevity of older adults, Fall Prevention classes are non-existent in most communities. Exercise is the # 1 pillar of brain health, yet senior living communities do not incorporate the formats of exercise that are most beneficial for both cognitive and physical function. Too many senior living communities are content with the “illness” model of care, rather than adopting a “preventative” model.
Fitness is the foundation of wellness. It is clear that senior living communities are focusing on providing their unique brand of “dementia care” because that is where the “money” is……it is time to demonstrate what most senior living communities claim; that they are “resident oriented”. It is time to offer options for incoming residents by empowering them with opportunities that allow them to shape their destiny through fitness based wellness programs in order to “delay” the onset or progress of dementia while enabling and encouraging them to remain productive, engage in life and assist them in finding or realizing their purpose in life. The time for change is now.
