Successful Aging in the United States is Tied to Livable Communities, Declares Aging Services Provider Ecumen

August 24th, 2007

The age wave presents new community planning and development opportunities for American cities

Shoreview, MN (PRWEB) August 24, 2007 — http://www.ecumen.org - Aging services provider Ecumen, Minnesota’s largest non-profit senior housing company, is encouraging cities to embrace strategies of creating livable communities for all ages as the United States faces an unprecedented demographic shift.

Kathryn Roberts, Ecumen’s CEO & president, described this strategy in her editorial piece “The Age Wave, Successful Aging and Liveable Communities” published August 10th in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. It looks at how the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul need to prepare for a much older population.

“The Twin Cities area, like other communities nationwide, has an unprecedented opportunity to create communities that promote successful aging,” states Roberts.

Where the challenge, and opportunity, lies in the age wave, as articulated by Minnesota state demographer Tom Gillaspy, is that our population is aging in record numbers.

“These things usually creep along at the speed of a glacier,” states Gillaspy. “Not so with aging. In demographic terms, this is a tsunami.”


Second Laboratory Dedicated to Environmental Testing Opened by DDL in Response to Rapid Growth

August 22nd, 2007

New facility will ensure record time to market for DDL’s ever growing client base

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 22, 2007 — http://www.testedandproven.com/ - DDL, a leading package testing services firm, specializing in medical device package testing, has substantially expanded its second laboratory dedicated to environmental testing in Eden Prairie, MN.

The facility, dubbed Opportunity Court, was initially developed last year as a response to DDL’s rapid growth and an increased demand for environmental testing services. The laboratory immediately allowed DDL to effectively and efficiently take on more projects.

With the recent expansion, DDL’s growth in capacity mirrors the new level of achievement it’s able to provide for its ever growing client base.

“The expanded environmental testing laboratory ensures the fastest possible response time when it comes to starting projects for our current and future clients,” states John Hart, CEO of DDL. “This means that our clients can deliver their product to market intact and in record time.”

In the medical device testing industry, time to market is absolutely critical as firms must quickly ensure their products safely weather conditions to reach those that need them most.


Evolving Solutions Proudly Offers Powerful New Data Replication Solution in Collaboration With Partner NetApp

August 8th, 2007

ReplicatorX will allow Evolving Solutions customers to achieve migration from any data storage device to any storage device, regardless of brand or physical distance

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 8, 2007 — http://www.evolvingsol.com — Evolving Solutions, a leading storage consolidation and server virtualizaton provider, has announced its new offering of ReplicatorX data replication solutions in collaboration with partner NetApp.

NetApp’s ReplicatorX solutions are revolutionary in the sense that our customers will now be able to share data between any brand of data storage devices, whether they reside in the same room, state, or even country,” states Chris Taylor, Evolving Solutions Director of Professional Services and Solution Sales.

Before ReplicatorX, data migration could be a financially daunting trial for firms of any size. Larger firms would face the challenge of sharing data between globally spread servers. Smaller firms, meanwhile, would face the hurdle of making costly upgrades to secondary storage devices to sync with the primary server.

ReplicatorX will minimize financial concerns of smaller firms by allowing data to easily synch between large, primary storage devices to smaller, less expensive devices, while simultaneously making the concerns of sharing data on a global scale a thing of the past for larger firms.


New Senior Housing Developed by Aging Services Provider Ecumen in North Branch, MN, Shows How Communities Can Ready for the Age Wave

August 7th, 2007

The Villages of North Branch transforms traditional nursing home into a community people are proud to call home.

Shoreview, MN (PRWEB) August 7, 2007 — Aging services provider Ecumen (http://www.ecumen.org), Minnesota’s largest non-profit senior housing company, is working to transform long-term care with the opening of the senior living community, The Villages of North Branch in North Branch, Minn. The new senior housing community is an example of how communities can meet growing assisted living and care needs.

The Villages of North Branch, a $22 million development, replaces a 1950s-style county-operated nursing home and departs from the traditional nursing home model. Institutional hallways are replaced by small neighborhoods and it features technology to help seniors live as independently as possible. The Villages of North Branch is senior housing that is designed to be an integral part of the larger community, with its café, chapel and meeting rooms open for use by community groups.

“Aging is all about living, even at the very end of life,” said Leah Killian-Smith, who is the Ecumen leader at The Villages of North Branch. “We’re eliminating the institutionalism and isolation that assisted living can sometimes be known for, by connecting people to each other and promoting vital, successful aging.”
