## Resource

In this episode of Elevate Eldercare, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan welcomes Francis LeGasse Jr, co-founder and managing partner of Assured Senior Living, a growing network of small homes in Colorado, to discuss how intimate, relationship-centered living environments are transforming eldercare. Francis shares his personal journey into aging services, inspired by his family's experiences with dementia and caregiving, and explains why he transitioned from home care to the small house model. He describes how thoughtfully designed homes, each serving just nine residents, create opportunities for meaningful relationships, greater independence, and improved quality of life. The conversation also explores caring for people living with dementia and brain injuries, the surprising benefits of shared living spaces, workforce retention, and the challenges of financing high-quality care.
