The Value Proposition

The SAGE Tour programs offer delegates an educative, professional and culturally appropriate study experience in another country looking at Seniors Living Models and delivery of care.

Learning Experiences

Delegates are exposed first-hand to high quality sites and facilities with recognised contemporary management practices.  Delegates will learn about successful alternative service delivery models and are led by a study leader with years of industry experience who will facilitate knowledge and cultural exchange and make your tour experience 'hassle free'. 

Professional Development

Senior executives receive a broadened professional knowledge base to lead their organisations, and strengthen their personal and professional networks, and relationships, across the industry sector.  Seniors living and care professionals receive an excellent forum for fostering and exchanging learning and cultural opportunities.

Collaboration and Networking

Valuable connections are made with key contacts in the international seniors living and aged care fields.  Throughout the tours delegates meet with highly respected professionals, visit cutting edge educational service providers and learn about alternative service delivery models.  Delegates network with each other and brainstorm opportunities.

Industry Support

As part of the Global Partnerships Program each SAGE Tour donates a small portion of delegates’ fees to an Aged Care facility in rural and remote South Africa (Emseni Home for the Aged in Rorke's Drift KwaZulu Natal)
