Rikki Goldenberg Joins Juniper Communities as Catalyst Innovation and Implementation Specialist
Bloomfield, NJ (January 8, 2024) – Juniper Communities, a leading owner/operator of senior living communities, proudly welcomes Rikki Goldenberg as the Catalyst Innovation and Implementation Specialist. In this newly created position, Goldenberg will play a pivotal role in advancing Juniper’s Catalyst program by spearheading innovation and overseeing its effective implementation.
Lynne Katzmann, CEO/Founder, Juniper Communities, expressed enthusiasm about the appointment, stating, “Rikki has proven to be an exceptional leader in the healthcare industry, launching 
programs for startups to complex healthcare organizations. Her competencies in innovation and program development, operational performance, implementation, and medical cost management are exactly what we need to propel our Catalyst program from infancy to maturity.”
Catalyst is a signature program of Juniper, designed to integrate all resident services under one platform. It seamlessly summarizes and recommends medical, health, and wellbeing services tailored to individual residents’ needs, ushering in a new era of aging with a high-tech and high-touch approach. The program employs a lifestyle concierge who curates the health and wellness programs for each resident, delivering information via voice and digital technologies. The end result is a personalized life experience that fosters whole-person wellness and vitality, and catalogs services by resident usage.
Goldenberg will be instrumental in implementing technology as an enabler to achieve Juniper’s goals for Catalyst. By gathering data on residents’ needs, wants, and past enjoyments, the lifestyle concierge will make individualized recommendations for a life-enhancing schedule. Automation will be a key focus, ranging from on-demand dining menus, ordering from specified restaurants, requesting transportation, scheduling beauty and barber services, creating group card games and activities, and more, making it a true engagement tool. Families will also have access to their loved ones’ schedule for the purpose of making suggestions.
“As my background attests, my passion is helping people and improving lives by implementing leading-edge technology and systems, and improving connections between people, to make programs and processes more efficient as well as the experience,” declared Goldenberg. “This role allows me to utilize all my strengths in a wonderful, innovative senior living company.”
