At the heart of senior living operations, there’s a simple goal: Give your teams the time and information they need to focus on people. But many teams are stretched thin. Every hour spent on manual data entry, paper-based workflows or disconnected systems is an hour not spent with residents. Manual processes and limited visibility pull staff into back-office work that technology can handle instead.
Five senior living leaders sat down with us to talk candidly about what changed when their organizations connected their operations on a single platform. Their stories are part of our new ebook, The heart of innovation: Senior living leaders on Yardi. Here are three themes that emerged across all five conversations.
The human impact of efficiency
When you automate the back office, you can return saved time to resident services and care.
Seth Pesek, president of Phoenix Senior Living, describes his team’s guiding idea simply: more hands in hands, not hands on keyboards. After automating invoice processing with the Yardi Senior Living Suite and Procure to Pay, Phoenix eliminated 19 work weeks of manual effort in just 16 months. That’s time staff now spend in conversations with residents and families — not behind closed doors doing data entry.
The same shift shows up in Senior Resource Group communities. Sara Padilla, VP of health services at Senior Resource Group, remembers when caregivers had to leave residents mid-interaction to walk to an office and look up paper-based service plans. Now they carry tablets. With Yardi EHR and Yardi eMAR, the information caregivers need is available in residents’ apartments or in the hallway.
Both stories carry the same message: When you remove friction from senior living operations, the people in your communities feel it first.
How senior living operations extend beyond the building
Good senior living operations extend beyond the walls of a community to build confidence with resident families and community owners and investors.
Marianne Denlinger, CFO of Providence Place Senior Living, describes families using RentCafe Senior Living Portal to pay bills, view real-time statements and keep up with community events and activities. They’ll even know whether mom made it to her scheduled haircut that week. For family members who live far away, those small confirmations carry a lot of weight.
Elliott Westerman, CFO of 12 Oaks Senior Living, sees a parallel story on the ownership side. As a third-party manager working with ownership groups that have varying levels of financial expertise, 12 Oaks uses consistent, connected reporting to give every stakeholder a clear and shared picture of performance. When the data is reliable and accessible, conversations become more productive. This creates confidence that continues outside the building.
Growth without proportional overhead
For organizations with expansion on the horizon, connected senior living operations answer one of the most pressing questions: How do you grow without letting costs grow at the same pace?
Greg Echols, co-CEO of Gardant Management Solutions, wove efficiency into the culture at Gardant, which specializes in affordable assisted living. With roughly 60% of revenue coming through Medicaid waiver programs, operating sustainably is part of the mission. By moving from manual revenue management to integrated software, Gardant has reduced duplication, streamlined financials and supported 20% annual growth without proportional increases in overhead. For Gardant, efficiency isn’t just good business. It’s what keeps care accessible to the people who need it most.
At 12 Oaks, a consistent platform is what makes growth feel manageable. When Westerman’s team brings on a new ownership group or community, they can point to the systems, reporting standards and communication workflows already in place. New partners know what to expect from day one, and that clarity makes sustainable growth possible.
