Senior Living Executive Strategy (formerly Gravity Healthcare Hacks)
Senior Living Executive Strategy is a podcast for leaders in senior living, skilled nursing, and home health who are responsible for solving complex operational, clinical, reimbursement, and growth challenges.
Hosted by Melissa Brown, COO of Gravity Consulting, each episode explores the real issues affecting providers today — from therapy performance and PDPM strategy to home health operations, reimbursement pressure, staffing realities, regulatory change, and the decisions that shape long-term sustainability.
This podcast is not about theory. It is about how senior care organizations can apply strategy in practical ways that improve care, strengthen operations, protect margins, and create better outcomes.
Because in senior living, it’s not what you know — it’s how you apply it that makes all the difference.
