I'm excited to announce that I will be doing a closing keynote address on the use of social media in home care at the Home Care 100 Conference at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel in California in February 2011. Home Care 100 offers senior executives in home care and hospice a forum to discuss the current business landscape, growth strategies, and the future direction of the industry.
At a similar talk this year at the LTC-100 Conference in Florida, long-term care executives from around the country were intrigued and fascinated by the business opportunities provided by advances in social technologies. Home care companies have a unique opportunity to leverage these new social tools to connect caregivers, patients, and family members (who often feel isolated and alone) and to engage prospective customers and employees by building community around their brand.

Maddie Grant (of SocialFish) and I will be speaking on the use of social media in senior living and long-term care at the LTC-100 conference in Key Biscayne on May 4th. This is the first time social media will be featured at this conference so this talk is sure to be both entertaining and informative for everyone involved. We will be posting social media-related highlights from the conference on Twitter, Facebook, and our blog so subscribe to one or all. Here's the conference agenda:

One year after building our first online community for the Terrace Assisted Living Group, we have launched our new Website and two new blogs. The Website, built on the HubSpot platform, will serve as our social media hub and will help us: 1. promote our products and services 2. educate the senior living and eldercare industries on the power of social media to help grow and improve their business 3. provide information about online communities and community building.
Our Online Community and Social Media Blog will cover all things social media as it relates to our target segments (senior living, retirement communities, assisted living, long-term care, home care, hospice, dementia care). We will provide social media news and tips, interview industry leaders who are using social media to improve their business, and be the go-to guide for organizations trying to integrate social media into their business practices.
Our News Blog will cover all CareNetworks company news and announcements.
While the new CareNetworks.com is now live, the site will be undergoing some minor revisions and lots of polishing over the coming weeks. We invite you to check back frequently and provide us with feedback (we love feedback) to help us optimize the site for visitors.
We will also be issuing some formal press releases, so keep an eye out for those.
I would like to personally thank Paula Meiselman for her design work on the site. She did a fantastic job and was always there when I needed her.
Thanks, now it's time to build some online communities.
Brian Geyser is founder and CEO of CareNetworks.com
