Go Goodman Go

I have just visited the senior management team of our client’s Headquarters in Minneapolis, the Goodman Group (http://www.thegoodmangroup.com/), who have developed a highly professional assisted living business. They have mature UK market entry plans. The communities are beautifully built, staffed by highly trained professionals and bring a much needed dimension to senior living healthcare.

I wanted to book in there and then but was told I needed to be 85, Dan Peterka (CEO) said he would take an early reservation!

I am excited at the prospect of elderly care being delivered in the UK in a highly sophisticated, dignified and humane fashion – go Goodman go I say.
