Get Creative to Bring a Higher Purpose to Business
Here is an inspiring story from USA Today that shows us how one business owner in Pennsylvania has creatively designed an assisted living facility that integrates both children and seniors.
In 1995 Carin started Orion Generations Wellness Center. She began with her version of what assisted living for the elderly should look like.
She bought a home, and made it look like a bed-and-breakfast. Several plants and a couple of friendly house pets made her assisted living facility look and feel like home. She said: “When a person is forced, by age or illness to make the transition from their homes into a nursing home or assisted living facility, that facility should look and feel as close to home as possible.”

I think nowadays there are so many businesses offering almost any product you can imagine. What you need to do is be specific and stick out amongst your competitors. So getting creative and using your imagination is now more necessary than ever. Doing things the old fashioned way doesn’t work anymore (which is unfortunate in some ways).
However, I think with more people communicating online and being able to voice their opinions about products, these businesses have to have accountability and need to stay true on what they say they’re giving to consumers. It’s so easy to get a review of a product or service or business and bad reviews are always found out before good ones.
