In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Virginia Kruse discusses her evolution into a self-proclaimed “Solutionist” in the senior living and healthcare space. She walks us through her start in healthcare at 16, the unexpected path that led her away from law school and into nursing, and how early mentorship changed the course of her career.

Virginia opens up about the burnout that nearly ended her career, how she found purpose again through consulting work, and the personal habits that help her stay grounded—including yoga, breathwork, and boundary-setting.

Key topics include:

  • Navigating the emotional and ethical challenges in assisted living

  • Hiring with heart: finding team members who treat caregiving as a calling

  • Why individualized care plans rooted in empathy can change outcomes

  • Integrating AI and robotics into senior care without losing the human touch

  • Advice she’d give her younger self—and to others just entering healthcare
