Experienced senior housing industry executive Ryan Novaczyk serves New Perspective Senior Living as president and CFO. In this capacity, Ryan Novaczyk guides the company in “redefining senior living while improving the quality of the residents’ lives.” In addition to memory care, independent living, and assisted living, residents with special needs can also receive specialized services such as Vivid Living.
Some older adults with memory loss may not fit into the typical services that are offered in senior housing facilities. Seniors with mild memory problems, commonly known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), may need more than assisted living, but not the full-service option of memory care. New Perspective Senior Living calls this in-between service Vivid Living. Seniors with MCI demonstrate typical symptoms associated with normal aging, such as difficulty with thinking, language, memory, and judgment. Vivid Living creates a separate community for such seniors where life engagement coaches can guide them through the day. These coaches provide gentle but regular cues to help Vivid Living residents maintain their involvement in physical fitness, brain fitness, dining and nutrition, and social and spiritual enrichment activities. For example, a life engagement coach may guide residents in their dining and nutrition activities by providing a cue to wash their hands, as lunch will be served in 10 minutes.
