It\u2019s 6:30pm. Your senior resident\u2019s daughter has made it through traffic just in time to pick up her son from band practice. Now she\u2019s got to rush to the pharmacy to pick up you\"\"<\/a>r resident\u2019s refill and make it to the community in time for her father\u2019s evening application. But before she does that, she has to visit your leasing office to pay the rent and remind the agent about the leak in the bathroom–all before the office closes at 7pm. <\/em><\/p>\n

While she is driving, exhausted and stressed, she gets a call from her friend. Her friend\u2019s mother is in a comparable senior living community that offers rent payments, maintenance requests, and an ability to communicate with clinicians through an easy-to-use online portal.
