Anthony Ormsbee-Hale: Welcome to TALATalks, a brand new podcast brought to you by the Texas Assisted Living Association. I'm Anthony Ormsbee-Hale, your host for this journey, where we'll be diving into the heart of what makes senior living communities tick, and how we can make them even better. As one of the Assisted Living Manager’s Course Instructors for TALA, with 10 years in senior living management, operational strategy and workforce development experience, I've seen the incredible impact that knowledge, insights, and resources can have on senior living communities. That's why we're here—to empower you, the hardworking operators and teams dedicated to serving our elders in Texas.

And we want to hear from you.
