Longevity Leaders ^Company

In one of the richest countries on the planet, everyone should have access to the vital resources needed to ensure healthy longevity. Yet in some communities, our older residents can face hurdles to leading lives of productivity, meaning, and resilience. This becomes an even greater issue to address when we consider how many grandparents are actively involved in raising their grandkids. Many of our older men and women across the country face huge health and safety challenges requiring an investment in strategies that work to create healthy, safe and community-engaged longevity. For those actively involved in raising their grandchildren, the need to support our older caregivers must become a priority. Through the application of the continuous quality improvement (CQI) process, we are able to develop local innovations and change initiatives that are data-driven and result-focused to meet the challenges older residents face. We are using all the community-based ingenuity we can muster to devise a strategic, evidence-based prevention and treatment process to ensure that our most vulnerable populations are reached, helped and empowered. Longevity Leaders is a project of Safety+Success, a socially-engaged strategic planning firm in Seattle. In 2014 Safety+Success developed the Data Leadership and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Program for child welfare with the support and technical assistance of Casey Family Programs. This model, now implemented in New York City, Connecticut, and New Mexico, provides the framework for the data-driven Longevity Leaders program. We’re committed to strengthening all communities so that our most vulnerable populations—of all ages—thrive. In response to this critical need, we launched Longevity Leaders to offer a CQI-focused framework for social service and older resident-focused agencies to assess the need and deliver impactful results in their communities.
