We provide learning, development, and coaching services to care workers in long-term care facilities to improve the quality of care and the quality of life for both residents and staff. Our programs result in higher staff retention, higher occupancy, and a better bottom line.

LiveWell founder and The Malden Collective CEO Barbara Kohnen Adriance describes the impact of the LiveWell Method™ and its potential for improving the lives of many older adults and people living with disabilities.

What does it take to create excellence in elder care? We focus on three core principles:

Core Principles for High-Quality Eldercare

  1. TEAMWORK: LiveWell’s powerful foundational practices and tools get teams engaged with one another, creating a sense of belonging, empowerment, accountability, and ownership.

  2. IMPROVEMENT: We equip teams with best practices in quality improvement so that they can excel. Our methodology is based on strengths-based leadership, peer learning, and collaboration.

  3. INNOVATION: Organizations have to evolve. The way to do that is to see problems in new ways, take risks, develop new services, and use technology to enhance quality improvement. Through the LiveWell Innovation Hub, new ideas are tested and spread.

 

“Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice and discipline.”

— James C. Collins from 'Good to Great"

 

Oregon’s Director of the Office of Long Term Care Ombudsman, Fred Steele, sees LiveWell as part of an overall movement to empower residents to advocate for higher quality care

 

Consider the operational and financial benefits of the LiveWell Method.™Improving the quality of care in LiveWell pilot facilities generated a minimum of $100,000 per year in cost avoidance.

When you improve care you improve your business.

There are enormous costs associated with staff turnover, absenteeism, resident falls, medication errors, and workplace injuries – from personal costs to administrative costs to liability, insurance premiums, and deductibles. Currently, most operators consider these “the cost of doing business.” Yet they don’t have to be. Owners and management companies can do something about them. LiveWell can help.
