The Argentum–SAVANT-AI partnership is a central component of Argentum’s broader AI Leadership Institute, an initiative created to help senior living leaders assess readiness, build practical capability, and apply AI responsibly across their organizations.
The Institute is designed as a pathway rather than a single course or one-time presentation. Its components help leaders move from awareness and assessment to education, experimentation, and real-world application.
Two assessment tools, the AI Leadership Index and the AI Maturity Index, help establish a starting point. The AI Leadership Index focuses on the individual leader, evaluating current understanding, confidence, and readiness to lead through AI-driven change. The AI Maturity Index looks more broadly at the organization, including strategy, governance, workforce readiness, technology, and the ability to implement AI responsibly.
But assessment is only the beginning. The next opportunity for leaders to turn those insights into practical capability is the AI Sprint for Senior Living, taking place July 13–17, 2026.
Get Hands-On with AI During the July Sprint
Created specifically for senior living leaders and teams, the July AI Sprint will help participants move quickly from limited AI experience to practical application.
The virtual program includes three morning sessions totaling eight hours:
- Monday, July 13: 10 a.m.–1 p.m. CT
- Wednesday, July 15: 10 a.m.–1 p.m. CT
- Friday, July 17: 10 a.m.–noon CT
Rather than focusing only on broad concepts or future possibilities, the Sprint will give participants hands-on experience using AI tools in ways that can support real senior living operations.
Participants will build a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence, explore relevant use cases, and begin developing tools and approaches they can take back to their organizations. Practical applications will include creating a custom AI assistant, exploring working integrations, and gaining early experience with agent-building tools.
The goal is for participants to leave with more than ideas.
Each participant will receive an Argentum AI Leadership Index score, personalized recommendations for next steps, ready-to-apply playbooks, reference materials, and recordings of all sessions. These resources are designed to help leaders continue applying what they have learned and share that knowledge with colleagues after the Sprint concludes.
The program will also explore how AI can help strengthen productivity, improve workflows, support financial performance, protect net operating income, and give employees more time to focus on higher-value work.
The Sprint is appropriate for leaders who are just beginning to explore AI as well as those who have experimented with individual tools but need a more structured approach to organizational adoption.
Senior living organizations may also benefit from enrolling multiple team members. Because AI adoption touches many parts of an organization, participation from leaders across operations, technology, human resources, finance, marketing, legal, risk management, and other functions can help create shared understanding and stronger alignment.
Argentum members save $500 on registration, and early-bird pricing is available through June 30. Space is limited, so senior living leaders and teams are encouraged to register today.
Preparing for What Comes Next
The pace of AI development is unlikely to slow. The tools available today will continue to change, and new capabilities will emerge. For senior living organizations, waiting for the technology to become completely settled is not a realistic strategy.
Neither is racing ahead without preparation.
The opportunity lies in building the knowledge, systems, policies, and confidence needed to evaluate AI as it develops. Organizations that begin strengthening those capabilities now will be better positioned to make informed decisions, respond to new opportunities, and avoid preventable risks.
“This partnership with Argentum creates a practical pathway for leaders to better understand AI, evaluate opportunities, and take the next right steps for their organizations,” Burton said. “We are proud to support the senior living industry as it builds AI capability in a way that is thoughtful, responsible, and useful.”
For Argentum, the partnership reflects a broader commitment to helping the senior living industry prepare for what is next, not by chasing every new technology, but by giving leaders the insights and tools needed to make sound decisions.
AI may be changing quickly, but the essential leadership questions remain familiar: What problem are we trying to solve? How will this improve the organization? What risks must we manage? How will it support our employees and the people we serve?
The AI Leadership Institute is being built to help senior living leaders answer those questions and move from uncertainty to informed action.
The July AI Sprint provides an immediate opportunity to begin that journey. Over three focused, hands-on sessions, participants will gain the skills, resources, and confidence to begin putting AI to work responsibly within their organizations.
Because the future of AI in senior living will not be determined by technology alone. It will be shaped by the leaders who decide how, and why, it should be used.
