Creating "Unpretentious" Housing and Care for All Ages

"Unpretentious" isn't a word you see often in marketing materials for senior living communities, but it shows up several times in the description of Northaven Senior Living in Seattle. Darlene Storti, Northaven's executive director, joins "Elevate Eldercare" to discuss this down-to-earth assisted and independent living community for lower- and moderate-income elders – as well as the organization's plans to open the Nook, which will feature workforce housing with on-site early childhood care and education services for up to 100 kids. It's all part of Storti's vision to desegregate and destigmatize growing older for people of all ages, a mission grounded in her experience working with both elders and teenagers alike.
