Growing your home care agency? 📈 So is the cost of doing it.

The 2026 Benchmarking Report shows agency revenue is way up — but so is client acquisition cost, up nearly 50% since 2021. So how are the top-performing agencies scaling without watching their margins shrink?

Find out live with WellSky and Activated Insights on Wednesday, September 23 at 12pm CT. We'll walk through:

✅ How happier clients and caregivers turn into cheaper, faster growth (referrals)
✅ Why training that actually builds skill — not just checks a compliance box — protects your capacity to scale
✅ Live demos of two integrations built to make this easier: WellSky ↔ Experience Management and WellSky ↔ CareAcademy

What most often causes a good employee to leave?

We asked attendees that question live during Views from the C-Suite, then turned to David Hope, SVP of HR at Kisco Senior Living, for his answer. Did he agree with the crowd, or see it differently?

David's background is unusual for this industry — sales, then HR for 60+ brands at Motor Trend Group, then back to senior living with a different read on hiring and retention. This conversation with Helen Adeosun covers that question plus four more, on leadership, AI, and what really keeps good people around.

🎥 Watch the full conversation:

David Hope has sat on both sides of the table, sales, senior living HR, then running HR for 60+ brands outside the industry, before coming back with a sharper lens.
