Brookdale, the largest senior living provider, made national media headlines after an incident that took place at Glenwood Gardens, a Bakersfield, Calif. continuum of care community the company operates.
On February 26, a Glenwood Gardens independent living resident collapsed in one of the community’s dining areas. A Brookdale staffer initiated a 911 call, per company protocol, then handed the phone to a nurse.
Throughout the approximately seven minute phone call, the 911 dispatcher repeatedly asked the nurse to either perform CPR on the woman, or find someone else who would, but the nurse refused, saying it was against company policy. The resident ultimately passed away.
The Brookdale incident and the way the company handled it arguably did not have a substantial impact on its bottom line, but others have seen much different outcomes for their own crises.
The manner in which companies respond to crisis situations can play a large role in how they’re covered by the media, and how the public—and by extension, investors—perceive them, says Todd Harff, president of marketing and public relations firm Creating Results.

Often overlooked by developers and planners studying the housing needs of Generation Y, the fastest-growing age group in the US is actually the one aged 65 and older, says John K. McIlwain, ULI senior resident fellow/J. Ronald Terwilliger Chair for Housing.
Aging but active baby boomers, as well as the generations before them, are creating new opportunities as well as challenges for the US housing industry as it strives to meet the diverse lifestyle needs of people in various phases of their senior years, according to McIlwain, author of a recent ULI publication, Housing in America: The Baby Boomers Turn 65.
You can hear from ULI’s McIlwain and other industry leaders focusing on the emerging housing needs of the 65-and-better generation at ULI’s 2013 Real Estate Trends Conference, “Life Cycles in the New Economy – People and Places” to be held Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at the Ronald Reagan Center in Washington, DC. Joining McIlwain will be David Mayhood of The Mayhood Company, Julie Smith of Bozzuto Management Company, and Dan Cinelli of Perkins Eastman on a panel moderated by Todd Harff of Creating Results.
