Episode: 8 On The Road Tour, Stopping In At Atria, East Northport, NY.

Welcome back to the On The Road Tour! True leadership means knowing how a building operates from the ground up. My career spans 31 years in senior care: 10 years as an Aide and Manager, 15 years as a Director, and the last 6 years as an Active New York State Licensed Nursing Home Administrator. In this special episode, I’m returning to one of my former homes: Atria East Northport, where I worked from 2015 to 2018. I’m sitting down with Diego Velasco (Community Sales Director) and Leanne Marie (Executive Director) for an honest, unscripted look at elite senior care. In this video, we discuss: Simplifying the moving parts of the Admissions process. Our intentional collaboration with Day-To-Day Senior Care for clients transitioning from an in-home companion to a higher, safer level of assisted living. 🛎️ LET A 31-YEAR VETERAN GUIDE YOU: Don't navigate the complex senior care system alone. Give us a call, and we will personally handle the Admissions process for your loved one.

🎙️ ON THE ROAD 2026: Ep.5: From Zip-Tying COVID Barriers to Building the Ultimate Senior RV Escape | Live in Maine

In Fall 2020, we zip-tied plastic barriers to nursing home walls just to keep our seniors alive. Today, we are taking them camping to give them their freedom back. The Description: Welcome to another unscripted episode of 🎥 ON THE ROAD 2026. This week, 35-year senior care veteran Charles Day is broadcasting LIVE from Southern Maine with his former Maintenance Director—and current business partner—Will Taylor. Before the vaccines, before the mandates, there was just the raw reality of the Fall 2020 COVID-19 surge. Charles and Will pull back the curtain on what it actually took to keep a 108-bed campus safe: from physically sealing off floors with plastic sheeting, to coordinating a massive CVS vaccine clinic weeks before the state's first documented case hit their facility. But surviving the pandemic was only chapter one. After watching seniors isolated indoors for years, Charles and Will made a massive pivot. They bought property in the Maine woods, renovated it, and launched Day-To-Day-Senior RV Camping Getaways ℠. Tune in to hear how two healthcare veterans are using dedicated one-to-one "Camper Companions℠" to safely bring seniors back to the great outdoors. 0 Scripts. 1 Camera. 30+ Years of Truth.

Episode 4: The 5K Milestone, An Open Invite, & Healthcare's Unsung Heroes

Wow, 5,000 of you! In Episode 4 of our "On the Road" series, I’m kicking things off with a massive THANK YOU to the over 5,000 viewers who have tuned in across social media, watched the shorts, and joined these live streams. This community is growing, and tonight, I am opening the doors even wider. While senior care is my roots, the healthcare ecosystem is entirely connected. That’s why tonight, I’m issuing an Open Invite to anyone in the healthcare industry. Whether you work in a traditional hospital, psychiatric behavioral health, social work, or beyond—if you are helping people navigate the healthcare system, I want you on this podcast to share your story. For the rest of the drive, we are talking about The Unsung Heroes: the aides, nurses, social workers, and the incredible peers from the buildings I used to manage. We’re diving into the reality of the grind, high turnover, and the one true reason the great ones last so long in this industry: raw, unfiltered passion. In this episode, we cover: * Celebrating our 5K viewer milestone! * An open casting call for future podcast guests across the entire healthcare spectrum. * A heartfelt shout-out to former peers still grinding it out on the floor. * Why the best healthcare workers stay in the industry when things get tough. * How every role—from the ER tech to the nursing home aide—relies on each other.
