  <title>From Canada to Caring for Hundreds: Lonnie Steckler’s 25-Year Journey in Assisted Living</title>
  <description>In this week’s episode of the&amp;amp;nbsp;ALF Boss Podcast, Pascal sits down with longtime friend and fellow ALF operator,&amp;amp;nbsp;Lonnie Steckler, owner and administrator of&amp;amp;nbsp;The Pointe of North Gables&amp;amp;nbsp;in Miami. From growing up in a Canadian family-run ALF to becoming a skilled nursing administrator, and eventually leading one of Miami's premier assisted living communities—Lonnie shares the lessons, setbacks, and successes from his two-decade career. We talk family dynamics, managing staff turnover, finding joy in leadership, how trusting your team can lead to a deficiency-free survey, and Lonnie’s advocacy work with the&amp;amp;nbsp;Florida Health Care Association (FHCA). Whether you're new to assisted living or a seasoned operator, this episode is packed with wisdom, humor, and heartfelt stories from the frontlines of senior care. &amp;amp;nbsp; Learn more about Lonnie’s facility at&amp;amp;nbsp;thepointeofnorthgables.com &amp;amp;nbsp;Contact Lonnie:&amp;amp;nbsp;Lonniesteckler@gmail.com &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
