Partnerships

Advancing our work through partnerships

We work closely with the Alzheimer’s Association to focus on education, awareness, and research initiatives that make a difference to individuals and families. 


Our partnership with Iowa high school programs like Waukee’s Aspiring Professionals Experience (APEX) helps students gain real-world experience and explore careers in the field of senior living before choosing a post-secondary program.

The LCS Foundation works closely with the Granger Cobb Institute for Senior Living, Northwood University, the University of Northern Iowa, and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire to develop future leaders of the senior housing and care profession. Funding is provided for academic programs in the senior housing and care profession and qualifying college students who pursue careers in the field of senior living are eligible for scholarships that help position aging services and senior living administration as a well-respected career choice. 


We serve as a strategic partner and supporter of Vision Centre, a national collaborative initiative focused on strengthening the future of senior living and aging services by developing the next generation of leaders. Through partnerships with universities, senior living organizations, and industry leaders, Vision Centre supports leadership development, student engagement, career pathways, and innovative solutions to address the evolving needs of the aging services leadership field.
