This case study examines resident enrichment programs at independent living communities. It discusses the differences between independent living, assisted living, and memory care facilities. Resident enrichment focuses on activities that benefit residents physically, intellectually, socially, emotionally, creatively, spiritually, and vocationally. The case study notes a recent decline in participation for most activities and explores potential qualitative and quantitative solutions like reminders, feedback, and new activities. The conclusion emphasizes Holiday Retirement's commitment to resident well-being through staff support and an engaging enrichment program.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

2. Difference in Level of Care
• Independent living-communities, also known as retirement communities, senior
living communities or independent retirement communities, are housing designed
for seniors 55 and older.
• Assisted living-housing for elderly or disabled people that provides nursing care,
housekeeping, and prepared meals as needed.
• Memory Care-assisted living communities may have memory care units on the
premises, the two types of care are not synonymous. Memory care is a distinct form
of long-term skilled nursing that specifically caters to patients with Alzheimer's
disease, dementia and other types of memory problems.
3. Why Families Choose Independent Care?
• Convenience
• Socialize
• Improve quality of life
• Peace of mind
4. Lifestyle Layers
• Holiday’s Resident Enrichment is based on life-enriching activities and events
that benefit our residents in seven key aspects: physically, intellectually,
socially, emotionally, creatively, spiritually, and vocationally. We call this
unique program The Layers of the Holiday Lifestyle.
5. Who is Holiday Retirement
• Holiday Retirement was founded in 1971, it set out to create an independent
living lifestyle unlike anything seniors had ever experienced before: cheerful
communities filled with friendly, accepting neighbors, live-in managers
dedicated to the happiness and well-being of each resident, innovative
activities, programs and travel opportunities for fun and personal growth,
and all the chores and details of daily life taken care of.
7. Interview Questions
• What was your profession
• Do you belong to any clubs or groups?
11 out 64 residents belong to some
type of group (bridge, book club,
poker club ect.)
• What are some of your strengths?
Many of my residents struggled with
identifying what their strengths were.
• How often do you exercise? 37 of 64
residents exercise on a daily basis
• Do you still drive? 10 of 64 residents
still drive a car
• Do you participate in activities
regularly 33 of 64 residents participate
in activities regularly
•
8. Activities
• Bocce Ball
• Morning exercise
• Bean bag baseball
• Mass
• Cards
• Movie matinee
• Trivia
• Bus outings
• Let’s talk Seniors
• Bingo
9. Enrichment Problem
• Over the past six months, I’ve noticed a significant decline in resident
participation in majority of the activities.
10. Qualitative vs. Quantitative
Qualitative Research
• is primarily exploratory research. It is used
to gain an understanding of underlying
reasons, opinions, and motivations. It
provides insights into the problem or helps
to develop ideas or hypotheses for
potential quantitative research. Qualitative
Research is also used to uncover trends in
thought and opinions, and dive deeper into
the problem.
Quantitative Research
• is used to quantify the problem by way of
generating numerical data or data that can
be transformed into useable statistics. It is
used to quantify attitudes, opinions,
behaviors, and other defined variables –
and generalize results from a larger sample
population. Quantitative Research uses
measurable data to formulate facts and
uncover patterns in research.
11. Solutions
• Weekly reminder
• Announcements during the meal times
• Feedback from residents
• Adding new activities
• Increasing budget
12. Conclusion
• At Holiday retirement we want families to be comfortable with the decision
that they made in to selecting our community to serve their loved one. Every
employee is responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of each
resident. Residents should be encouraged by their peer and staff to
participate in activities that are designed to improve their quality of life.
