Ep. 144 The Business of Senior Living: How Doing the Right Thing Drives Growth

Show Notes:

In this episode of Business Growth Spotlight, host Heidi Schalk, co-founder of HLH Growth Solutions, sits down with Chris Brown, owner of Abbey Senior Health, to explore what truly drives excellence in senior care while building a sustainable, mission-driven business.

Chris shares his 35-year journey in healthcare, from rehabilitating struggling nursing homes to leading a person-centered senior living organization rooted in dignity, purpose, and community. Drawing on his background in healthcare administration and ministry, Chris explains why senior living must focus on the whole person by addressing mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being, not just clinical needs.

The conversation dives into the realities families face when deciding between aging at home versus senior living communities, the importance of socialization and purposeful living, and why waiting too long to make care decisions can limit options. Chris also discusses how Abbey Senior Health stands out in a competitive market through exceptional care, strong staff culture, and word-of-mouth referrals rather than flashy advertising.

This episode offers valuable insights for families navigating senior care decisions, healthcare leaders, and business owners who want to scale with integrity while preparing for the coming wave of baby boomers entering senior living.
