GSLA is thrilled to launch Level Up Workshops, a new initiative designed to provide senior living professionals with advanced, hands-on education. These specialized workshops go beyond the basics, offering in-depth instruction paired with interactive engagement to enhance learning and application.

This year, we’re hosting four dynamic workshops, each focused on critical areas of senior living:

​Memory Care Workshop: Empathy in Dementia Care

This interactive workshop is designed to deepen your understanding of dementia through an empathy-first lens. Learn how to support residents with cognitive decline by incorporating person-centered practices, cultural sensitivity, and the latest therapeutic tools. You'll leave with actionable strategies to improve communication, reduce distress, and foster meaningful engagement—creating a more compassionate and responsive memory care environment.

Clinical Workshop

Focused on advancing clinical excellence, this workshop is tailored for wellness directors, nurses, and frontline professionals ready to lead with confidence. You’ll gain leadership strategies that go beyond regulatory knowledge—covering medication compliance, CMA development, burnout prevention, and time management. Through case studies and expert instruction, walk away with real-world tools you can apply immediately to elevate resident care and team performance.

Culinary Workshop

Elevate your community’s dining experience with this hands-on workshop crafted for executive chefs, dining directors, and culinary teams. From menu innovation and dietary compliance to kitchen operations and hospitality service, this session delivers practical insights that bring creativity, efficiency, and excellence to your senior living dining program. Expect live demos, expert panels, and collaboration with peers who share your passion for service.
