Our Host, Lori La Bey talks with Benjamin Surmi the Director of Education and Culture at Koelsch Communities, which is a third-generation family business that operates specialized memory care, assisted and independent living communities across eight states. They are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Montana, Texas and Washington.
Koelsch’s Innovation Lab pioneers best-practice techniques and technologies from around the world, all seeking a higher quality of life and better health outcomes for seniors. The Innovation Lab includes emerging technologies such:
o A new audio headset that leapfrogs the long-standing problems of hearing aids (a huge problem for those living with memory issues);
o A “de-digitizing” technology that enables seniors to enjoy family photos without the confusion of electronic devices;
o An AI tool mimicking the voices of family members;
o And various innovative brain health and communications techniques that have led to extraordinary memory and senior care breakthroughs.
Developed in France and largely unknown in the U.S., “Humanitude” is a special set of techniques for treating those living with memory issues – and it has demonstrated an ability to significantly improve quality of life. As a pioneer of the “Humanitude” practices, Benjamin is an impassioned advocate of these simple, principled, compassionate practices that anyone can use. His stories of Koelsch’s pilot innovation projects are uplifting and encouraging, especially to individual caregivers and those concerned about eventually living with dementia and other memory challenges.
