Jim Lydiard is the CEO at Centered Care and Partner at Senior Living Transformation Company (SLTC).
Centered Care helps senior living communities and healthcare providers work together more effectively to keep seniors out of the hospital. Centered Care is a tech-enabled, care services organization providing best-in-class tools and operational support to implement a more integrated, proactive, and aligned care model. On the front end, Centered care ingests data from the 5-10 disparate point solution data sources used to run a senior living community. Once the data is organized into needs-specific cohorts, community and care programming is activated to enhance the resident individual care plans, and finally care outcomes are realized.
