It is so easy for ageism to creep into the day-to-day interaction between residents and team members. Trish Barbato, Senior Vice President, Innovation & Strategic Partnerships, talks about how at Revera Living they work with their team members to avoid stereotyping residents. For context, she makes reference to a training video that features Hazel. Hazel is 95 years old and Revera’s Chief Elder Officer.

This video interview was taped during the June 2016 Senior Living Innovation Forum in Napa. Next year it will take place in Boca Raton, Florida.
