As the president of Koru Health LLC, Andrew Lange believes that challenge, adversity and continuous improvement are opportunities for growth. “We believe the internal and external customers we serve deserve an overall better experience and product within senior living,” said Lange. “We see that materialize in a culture that puts employees first, prioritizes impactful benefits and recognizes individuals.”
Koru Health LLC provides market-leading services in the senior living industry. Catering to a diverse group of customers, the firm blends rich amenities, activity and a holistic approach to health that respects the individual while fostering a robust community of good neighbors.
Under Lange’s leadership, Koru Health has achieved rapid growth over the last three years through ground-up new development work, acquisition of competitors and expansion of relationships through contracted management partnerships. The firm has doubled its labor presence while improving retention performance through targeted and impactful employee-focused programs.
“Identifying and adopting improvements is a continuous internal effort that was embraced as we exited the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Lange. “In the last three years, our organization was able to turn challenges seen in our regulatory and operating environments into value-add improvements which ultimately strengthened our performance as well as internal culture.”
Over the last two years, Koru Health has been honored as a Future 50 award winner. Looking forward, Lange said the organization continues to update initiatives that work on two fronts; building its team through training, development, and investing in them and advancing technology and innovation initiatives that improve productivity.
With Lange’s vision and direction guiding his team, Koru Health has become a positive force in every market they work in, said his staff. “Andrew is leading the way in changing senior living and being a disruptor of what some would say is a stagnate sector mentality,” they said. “The demand in senior living is very high which lends itself to suppressed importance on innovation, quality of outcomes and employee relations. We have seen Andrew be a leader in disrupting that old norm and expect that trend to continue.”
The mission of this organization is based on being a phenomenal employment option while providing the best senior services for customers, said Lange. “It takes a lot of good things happening at a high rate of consistency to achieve this type of growth in senior living,” he said. “There is an appropriate pride in knowing we have achieved a level of excellence within our team and truly have a secret sauce that makes this all work so well.”
