I took the course just as I was moving into a new national role with my company and I found the content extremely valuable during this personal transition. Week after week the course content supported actual questions and projects I was encountering at work. The course guided me to confidently present ideas, have discussions with senior leadership and organize my thoughts and plans into an actual business plan for a new wellness initiative I will lead this year. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in a leadership role supporting wellness programs for older adults in the community or in a senior living environment.

The course was fabulous, and I learned more than what I ever could have imagined at the outset of the course. The most important take away from me though is that the information presented in the modules and the assignments are things that I can use professionally both now and in the future. I very much enjoyed the module about employee evaluation.

While I got a lot out of the course, I especially appreciated the emphasis on an outcomes-based approach throughout the modules. It was a beautiful thing to actually work on a project (one which I’ve wanted to initiate for quite some time) and have the support on how and what to do, step-by-step, no less. It was like a present. Thank you for such a well-thought-out program. I would encourage anyone who’s thinking of a project, but hasn’t had the time to initiate it, to take this course. Your project will be infinitely better planned than if you did not take the course.

“ICAA’s Leadership in Wellness Management Course has been very timely and beneficial to me. Even though I have a Masters in health administration and have being working in long term care over 6 years, seniors lifestyle & wellness and active aging is new to me. ICAA over the years have helped me understand the nitty gratis of seniors lifestyle and wellness and how best we can support our residents to age actively. This leadership in wellness management course however, has helped broaden my horizon on a lot of the changes happening in our industry in general and how best we as a wellness team can adopt first of all and then communicate these changes to the leadership of our organization. The timing and contents of the course was perfect. Due to all the changes happening in my organization as far as lifestyle and wellness of our residents are concern, there couldn’t be a better time for me to take this course. I will recommend this course in a heartbeat to anyone who wants to enhance their profession.”

In India there are no wellness directors. In old age homes maximum wellness programs depend on meditation and yoga and early morning walks. But today I was watching a program on news channel and the wellness word was repeated many a times in relation to private health care partners of Government in new health care scheme. I am sure to get a job in wellness center after the course.
