Monthly Marketing Update
- April 2021

It is so hard to believe that it has been a full year that we have navigated this pandemic. We have all learned how to provide our services in new ways and remain vital during the pandemic. We have all shifted our marketing budgets, made choices, and learned to work differently. Thank you so very much to every sponsor of Retirement Connection. We would not be able to provide a comprehensive resource to the community; or post events, news, and articles online;
or report real-time availability without your support. Our work is made possible because of our sponsors/advertisers. Please return the favor, by referring to their services whenever possible.
Thank you to our sponsors that have already reserved space for 2022 and took advantage of the early bird discount. It means a great deal that half our sponsors already committed to working with us next year.

We have been holding monthly Transitions of Care zoom calls and shared case management feedback. We would love to see an increase in participation on these calls, please encourage your referral sources in housing and homecare and hospice to join. This monthly zoom meeting is a great way to facilitate smoother transitions to/from the hospital and to other levels of care in our community. In the meantime, we would like to encourage housing communities to use this form when a resident is sent to the hospital. It would greatly improve communication upon admit to discharge.

Nuggets of Knowledge

"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein

When I read this quote, I think about “Mushrooms”. You know where mushrooms grow, right? Sometimes we need to grow through a layer of CRAP before we really get to see the light of day. I am optimistic that everyday can be better if I chose to focus on the sunshine of helpers and opportunity to grow, not just the crap that surrounds us. I just need to look a little harder sometimes.
