Our team thoroughly enjoyed this experince and learned so much from it.
We support our clients with our vast knowledge of the senior living sector, but we are always open to learning from them.
Last week we spent 3 days running 8 focus groups for some of the many seniors interested in Summersides Retirement Residence.
It was a wonderful experience for our team, and based on the engagement and the Thank-You notes we received it was also a very positive experience for our guests.
Frank Giannone, president of FRAM + Slokker, who has been running focus groups for years, lead and moderated the meetings. He did a wonderful job sharing information but also encouraging our participants to provide feedback and tell us their wants and needs.
Nick Colamartini, Vice President, and the entire Mountainview Building Group hosted the eight (8!!) meetings over the 3 days in their head office, made everyone comfortable and had great tech to ensure we capture all the thoughts and ideas raised at the meetings.
We came out of these sessions with some new ideas for the next buildings to be built as part of the Summersides community, and with a great confidence that there is a very large group of people waiting for them to be built.
