A safe space for sharing hard things, and to give them confidence to step out of their comfort zone and lead their community. It is extremely valuable to have someone invested in you and your success only. It will help propel you to an amazing career inside the senior living industry.

How Can Aspire for More Help Executive Directors in the Senior Living Space?

Mentoring, Motivating and Elevating Executive Directors in the senior living industry is not just about taking a bunch of buzz words and throwing them together, it is a strategy that I utilize to make sure senior living professionals are leading assisted living teams to their full potential. I am passionate about helping the elderly population and seeing leaders in the field succeed in growing committed and motivated teams and cultures is how I measure success.

About Erin Thompson and Aspire for More!

Hi there! I am Erin Thompson and I have passionately thrived within the senior living industry over the last 20 years. As an Executive Director, I have been able to change the lives of thousands of residents and support their families through the challenges of caring for an elderly loved one. I have pursued excellence in all the communities I had the privilege of leading.

However, I have recently pivoted into the digital world to share my knowledge and expertise! For example, I have created two podcasts for each group of individuals that I serve. My future plans include creating a digital course guiding families on all the options available to everyone.

Regardless of where my work takes me, my mission is to aspire for more education for families and professionals alike–each person should be able to define their measures of success. I want to mentor and motivate Executive and Sales Directors in the senior living industry in order to create a beautiful experience for every current and future resident.

My Personal Experience...

As a professional in the Senior Living Industry…

  • I know how hard it is to try to balance the expectations of your home office, the residents, the families, the associates and the regulatory agencies.
  • I know how overwhelming it can be to want it all, but also do not know how to take the first step toward success.
  • I know how it feels to finally achieve the goals you and your team have set. I want to help you achieve yours!

Erin is a strong leader that has a lot of compassion for residents and advocates for seniors to have the proper care they need. My Dad was a resident under her care as the Executive Director at The Brennity. It was a challenging time due to COVID, but her positivity and passion made a difficult time easy. Her video communications providing updates were always positive, despite delivering tricky messages. Under her leadership the tenured staff were responsive to resident and family needs. I understand why they received the designation of being “A Great Place to Work” while she was there. I look forward to her podcasts in the new chapter of her life and highly recommend her!

Erin is hands down one of the best executive directors I have ever worked for. She is caring, compassionate, funny and she brings a positivity that you do not see in the healthcare industry. Erin always put our residents first. She believes in open and honest communication not only with families, but with her coworkers. We were not just “staff” or “a person” she had to manage. We were people with real feelings, needs, families, lives. She looked for an employees potential and did her best to bring that out, to nurture, guide and support them. Whether it was an encouraging word, a ride to work or a department change to learn a new skill. She looked for ways to build us up as a community and make us all the best version of ourselves. Did she have moments of doubt and frustration? Moments of being overwhelmed? Of course! In this industry how can you not, but it was how Erin handled those moments that made her a ROCKSTAR ED. Erin is smart, competent and an ED I would love to work for and with again.
