Increasing Revenue 50 percent by Using Vigilan to its Capacity
The economic downturn placed Regency at Puakea, an 82 unit Retirement and Assisted Living Facility with a memory care unit, in a difficult position. The new General Manager had to fix inefficiencies without impacting care or operations. By quickly learning all the capabilities of the Vigilan Care Suite and aligning the staff with resident care needs, Puakea realized a greater than 50 percent increase in care service revenue.
What Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Dementia Care Should Prepare for in 2009
Doug discusses the impact of a down economy on assisted living, independent living and dementia care. He details strategies every community can follow in order to maintain and even thrive despite tough times. Doug describes how Vigilan software has aided several communities with their growth and profitability following these strategies.
How Improved Care Planning Increases Family Satisfaction and Reduces Service Creep
Kris discusses how BPM Senior Living was able to increase revenue, reduce service creep and improve family relationships with the help of Vigilan software. By implementing a new strategy that incorporated a 14 day care plan review with families to identify appropriate services as well appropriate costs, both the families and care providers are happier, and costs are on target.
How Creating Customized Assessments Makes Specialized Service Delivery a Reality
LifeStyles was on a mission to create the first of its kind, a community that specialized in Parkinson’s and other movement disorders. Margaret’s challenge was creating the right assessments to ensure these residents received the care and accommodations to make their life comfortable. By adopting Vigilan and working together to customize assessments, LifeStyles and Vigilan customer support were able to effectively and affordably make these adjustments a reality. From state compliance to accurate medication management, movement disorder residents are getting the best care possible.
