American Senior Communities (ASC) was named a winner in the 2024 Communities That Shine Awards by LifeLoop, the leading resident and staff experience solution for senior living. The national awards program celebrates an exclusive roster of 12 exceptional senior living organizations across the nation that have embraced technology to improve the lives of residents, their families, and staff.
ASC, the largest provider of senior living and healthcare communities in Indiana, was selected as a winner in the multi-site operator category. The Brilliance in Portfolio-wide Personalized Engagement award is one of only two honors for organizations that have demonstrated excellence in innovation across their portfolio of skilled nursing communities and in the case of ASC, impacting thousands of residents statewide.
How It Improves Lives: The platform provides multiple portals in each feature for residents, their families, and caregiver staff.
Resident Experience – 24/7 connection to family, friends, activities, community calendars, menus, outside community engagement, shareable personal calendar, transportation arrangements, submit work requests, open gaming, and more.
Staff Experience – Multiple facilitation and duties previously requiring considerable time are alleviated through the platform, boosting efficiency, and allowing increased time providing direct care to residents. Direct communication with other staff, residents, and families. Staff can access data, make requests, and more.
“The ingenuity and dedication of this year’s Communities That Shine Award winners are truly inspiring,” said LifeLoop Chief Marketing Officer, Paige Mantel. “These 12 exceptional leaders have redefined what it means to create extraordinary experiences for senior living residents, leveraging technology in ways that foster connection, comfort, and joy. Their commitment to excellence sets a new standard for the industry, and we are honored to celebrate their remarkable achievements.”
Janean Kinzie, Vice President of Social Wellness and Enrichment for ASC says, “Given the many capabilities the platform offers, the most meaningful result we see is that it has done so much to increase connection and overall well-being for our residents. Staff have been freed up to spend more one-on-one time with residents while increasing their level of job enjoyment as well. They are there to care, and this allows them more time to do just that. Residents love it, families love it, and staff love it. That’s a trifecta in enhancing our ability to provide highly engaged, person-centered care.”
