This document discusses creating value through leadership in independent care sectors. It introduces ExtraCare as a pioneer of 'extra care' housing models with 31 retirement village locations, 3000 volunteers, and 4400 residents. The key points made are: 1) Listen to residents as they bring communities to life. 2) Having the right team makes all the difference through resident involvement and training. 3) Being bold and willing to innovate through diverse communities and a mix of ages, tenures, and health statuses. 4) Well-being is the overall goal pursued through an integrated well-being services approach.
