It all begins with a spark — an idea, a moment of inspiration, or the first step in a new journey.
The Longtree Graduates of the Assisted Living Administrator Course in New Jersey and Oklahoma have demonstrated that passion for leadership and service can ignite real change in senior living communities.
Their recent practicum at Complete Care offered invaluable, hands-on experience: a true “day in the life” of an administrator, where theory meets practice and every decision impacts lives.
As these new administrators step into their roles, they would do well to remember Brian Long’s approach to inspired leadership — an approach recognized with the Longtree Inspired Leadership Award in November 2024.
Leadership starts with genuine curiosity about your team; take time to learn not just what they do, but what motivates them. Building authentic relationships and being visible within the community fosters trust and collaboration, creating an environment where everyone feels heard. By listening actively and communicating transparently, new administrators set the foundation for a culture of openness and shared purpose — essential qualities for any thriving assisted living community.
