DENVER — December 26, 2025
Senior Housing News recently featured Dan Williams, CEO of ONELIFE Senior Living, for his newly published book, The Turnaround Blueprint: Transforming Senior Living Communities from Struggling to Spectacular.
In the article, “Inside ONELIFE CEO’s Turnaround Blueprint,” Williams shares practical, experience-driven guidance drawn from a career spent leading and stabilizing senior living communities from the inside out. The book was written to address a gap Williams experienced early in his career: the lack of real-world, step-by-step resources for operators tasked with fixing struggling communities.
Senior Housing News highlights how the book walks readers through the full lifecycle of a community turnaround — from identifying early warning signs and cultural breakdowns to implementing financial triage, leadership changes, and targeted renovations. Each chapter begins with a real scenario and concludes with actionable checklists designed to help leaders move from diagnosis to execution.
Williams emphasizes that successful turnarounds start with listening, learning, and local leadership — not imposing corporate systems too quickly. The article notes his belief that honesty, consistency, and relentless follow-through are essential when rebuilding trust with residents, staff, and families.
The feature also explores Williams’ hands-on background in senior living operations, including time spent living inside communities and stepping into frontline roles when needed — experiences that shaped the book’s practical, approachable tone.
Through The Turnaround Blueprint, Williams aims to support leaders at every level of senior living operations, from CEOs and executive directors to department heads and frontline team members, helping develop the next generation of operators as longtime industry leaders retire.
