Taking It to the Street - a 25,000 Mile Journey of Inspiration
The perspective of senior living usually is driven from a 30,000 foot landscape. Vendors, operators, policy makers, staff, and the public at large can get caught up, understandably, in the macro issues that drive the “business” of senior living. But what about a different perspective, from the level! Most people entered into a career of senior living because of the personal joy felt interacting with older adults. This session will remind attendees why they got into the field in the first place. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
Jack York
Jack York, iN2L’s fearless Co-Founder and President, has earned a respected reputation in senior living for his charismatic, mission-driven approach in building an organization around the idea that it’s never too late for a fulfilling life. The impetus for what became iN2L was a philanthropic idea to donate computers to assisted living communities and nursing homes in Southern California. With Jack’s tenured background in Silicon Valley as a strategic sales leader, he saw a vast potential in fostering these connections between seniors and the outside world, but also saw that conventional technology was too difficult for most older adults to use in a meaningful way. So he decided to find a way to make technology accessible for all levels of physical and cognitive ability.
Jack is a sought-after national and international speaker on technology being used to create personalized experiences that engage and connect older adults to their loved ones and the world at large, specifically individuals with dementia.
