How Mimi Senior Living is Transforming Senior Living Options in the Great Lakes

A New Dawn for Senior Living in the Great Lakes

In a promising development for the senior living landscape, Mimi Senior Living has officially launched its boutique management and consulting firm in central Ohio, aiming to serve the broader Great Lakes region. Designed specifically to uplift the quality of senior living, Mimi Senior Living seeks to cater to owners and investors across Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Chief Operating Officer and Principal, Stephanie Hess, expressed her enthusiasm for the company's launch, emphasizing the need for excellence in managing senior living facilities. "It’s just back to the basics," she stated, underlining the importance of combining compassionate care with modern technology. Mimi Senior Living aims to redefine the operational standards in senior housing by specializing not only in managing stabilized properties but also in enhancing underperforming communities through a mix of acquisitions, ground-up developments, and strategic turnaround initiatives.

A Heartfelt Mission Inspired by Family

The firm’s name, Mimi Senior Living, carries deep personal significance for Hess. Named in honour of her late sister, a nurse and resident advocate, the name reflects the ongoing commitment to compassionate care. "She did such a great job of taking care of people, and this can inspire us to remember why we do what we do," Hess said. This personal touch emphasizes a human-centered approach to care, highlighting the passionate commitment that drives the team at Mimi.

Innovations in Senior Living Technology

One of the standout priorities for Mimi Senior Living is its tech strategy. Hess recognized that the senior living industry often lags in technological advancements, which can hinder quality care. Herself having experienced the integration of technology during her previous roles, she decided that this firm would take the necessary time to select the best tech tools that cater specifically to seniors’ needs. Leveraging technology will allow caretakers to provide better care while streamlining daily operations.

"We can spend more time taking care of residents and less time figuring things out for ourselves," Hess said, emphasizing that technology should empower caregivers rather than hinder them.

Lessons from Professional Experience

Hess's journey in senior living has been a remarkable one, beginning as a caregiver during her college years. Armed with a degree in long-term care administration and a master's in health administration, her diverse experience across various facets of senior living—ranging from nursing homes to assisted living—has given her invaluable insights into what makes a quality senior community. She has worked diligently in independent living, memory care, and assisted living, gaining firsthand knowledge about the needs and challenges families face when choosing senior living options.

Community-Centric Identity

As the firm prepares to support local senior living communities, it's not just about financial success but about cultivating a culture of care. The Mimi Senior Living team is composed of industry veterans, including Betty Ronoh, RN, the executive vice president of clinical operations, and Matt Loges, LNHA, the executive vice president of strategic initiatives. Their experience adds depth to the firm's mission—ensuring high-quality care aligns with efficient management.

Additionally, the firm emphasizes market feasibility studies and operational assessments, key tools that not only enhance value but also ensure compliance with necessary regulations while enriching the experience for both residents and staff.

Future Trends in Senior Living

As the demand for senior living options continues to grow, particularly in Muskegon, it's vital for families to be informed about their choices. With the average cost of independent living and supported residences, like those found in Muskegon, on the rise, families are encouraged to thoroughly assess their options and seek expert advice. The increase in community-based resources prompts local residents to explore affordable elderly housing, assisted care residences, and monthly expenses that fit their budgets.

Empower Yourself with Knowledge

The introduction of Mimi Senior Living not only marks an exciting shift in how senior communities are managed but serves as a call to action for potential residents and their families. Making decisions about independent living is not easy, but having access to the best health coverage and resources makes a world of difference.
