PointClickCare Enhances the Senior Living Resident Experience with Senior Sign
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PointClickCare, a leading health tech company helping providers deliver exceptional care, announced today that it will showcase the latest product in its senior living lineup, Senior Sign, at Argentum Senior Living Executive Conference May 19-21 in Tampa, Florida. Built specifically for senior living, PointClickCare chose to partner with Senior Sign to eliminate manual move-in paperwork, creating a modern, welcoming experience for new residents and their families. It also helps staff maintain compliance and achieve up to a 60% reduction in administrative tasks, giving them more time to engage with residents and focus on their overall experience. The senior living industry is at a crossroads: 87% of communities report challenges in hiring staff to provide care and services and nearly half of assisted living residents experience hospitalization during their first year of stay. Resident and family expectations are rising at a time when staff are overburdened. Through integrated partner solutions like Senior Sign, PointClickCare is helping to remove inefficiencies, allowing staff to spend less time on paperwork and instead focus on providing new residents a more meaningful, personalized wellness journey. 'We recently worked with Senior Housing News to survey dozens of senior living organizations, and the results were clear: they are looking to technology to help improve resident satisfaction and boost revenue growth,' said Kristy Yoskey, Vice President, Market Leader of Senior Living at PointClickCare. 'But existing gaps in care coordination make it challenging to achieve these goals, especially as resident expectations and care needs evolve. Operators are committed to delivering the highest possible level of wellness for their residents, and we believe paperwork shouldn't stand in the way of someone moving into their new home. Senior Sign is designed to remove that barrier and streamline the move-in process. We look forward to connecting with the industry's brightest minds at Argentum and working together to shape a healthier future for our communities, providers, and the residents they serve.' 'As Senior Sign's biggest fan and a long-time PointClickCare customer, I could not be more excited about this growing partnership,' said Thomas Cloutier, Chief Marketing Officer, Arete Living. 'The more streamlined our processes are, the more time we can dedicate to delivering outstanding care, connection, and support. Our team loves Senior Sign because it empowers them to move past the paperwork quickly and focus on helping even more seniors and their families navigate their living options.' Argentum Senior Living Executive Conference brings together thousands of senior living professionals, operators, owners, executives, and community leaders for an elevated educational experience that recognizes the unique challenges facing senior living professionals today. As part of PointClickCare's presence at Argentum, attendees can join two sessions: ' Advancing Resident Wellness, Collaboratively,' on Monday, May 19, from 11:00-11:10 a.m. in Room 120. Led by Kristy Yoskey, Vice President, Market Leader of Senior Living at PointClickCare, the session will highlight the importance of collaboration across home health, therapy, and community partners to create communities where residents can thrive. ' Extending Resident Length of Stay Through Real-Time Service Coordination in Senior Living,' on Wednesday, May 21 from 10:45-11:30 a.m. in Room 120. This session will be led by Murry Mercier, Director of Senior Living Solution Consulting at PointClickCare, alongside Derek Harris, Managing Director of Wellness Integration, Arrow Senior Living; Joe Velderman, Vice President of Innovation, Cypress Living; and Josh Stevens, Founder and CEO of EmpowerMe Wellness. This panel will delve deeper into measurable outcomes senior living operators are finding by advancing care coordination for residents with the help of PointClickCare and other partners.

Renaissance skin is trending – here's the backstage beauty from London Fashion Week
Annie's Ibiza brought 'renaissance skin' to the runway at London Fashion Week, kicking off a new trend that leaves 'glass skin' in 2024. The professionals behind the look wanted to bring healthy skin to the runway; skin with 'colour, life and health', said Argentum skin expert Vera Araujo. This trend disbands with the familiar pore-less, mannequin skin of past fashion weeks, and focuses on the skin's microbiome and portraying more natural beauty. 'We use (l'eau de jouvence soothing silver tonic water) after cleansing the skin that contains DNA HP, this is what is now used in injectable, anti-ageing treatments,' says Araujo, 'it's the new upgrade from hyaluronic acid that has been used for years. 'It's anti-fungal, so it's focus is on purifying the skin. 'We want to feed and protect (the skin's) microbiome. It's about gently polishing, not stripping the skin.' The gentle and pure approach to the skin meant leant into the make-up for the show, which was inspired by the great 15th century heroines of Renaissance Italy. 'It's not about appearing woeful and waiting,' says lead MAC Cosmetics make-up artist Dominic Skinner, '(the model is) strong and empowered. 'For the cheeks, we wanted to create a flush, as though she's just come back from battle. She's not passive, she's strong and regal,' says Skinner. 'With the blush application, we're applying it to the apples of the cheeks and then straight across to the ear, as opposed to going up the cheekbone. 'This is a very purposeful placement, because it's very masculine. It's squaring off the cheek, instead of, making it a diamond. 'By doing that, it creates power in the make-up so it's less delicate and more bold.' While the emphasis was on the skin this season, the lids featured a subtle dash of gold, almost gilded armour for the eyes. 'It's pretty much unnoticeable, but there's a little thin line of gold on the on the lash line, which creates this glint in the eye, adding that radiance beaming from above in this almost godly way.' The lips followed suit. 'The lip is all about the strength,' says Skinner, 'we've got this really strong, dark berry using Nightmoth lip pencil with D for Danger MAC lipstick over the top. 'This creates a sort of blackberry, bitten lip, reminiscent of Joan of Arc.' While skinimilism has been trending for a while, this stronger and more angular approach changes the game, leaving behind the demure and pore-less filtered skin behind, opting for a realer and bolder look. 'Renaissance skin' means we may see softer eye looks, less bronzer and more blush in 2025.
