With communities in Washington and Oregon, Cascadia provides excellent care in settings intentionally designed for interaction and engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about their journey with Senior IQ, we interviewed Chief Financial Officer Michael Schefter. He broke down Cascadia\u2019s challenges prior to using Senior IQ \u2014 and how the solution led the company to success. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Challenge: Jeopardized Data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cascadia was manually pulling data from disparate sources. With rapidly expanding communities and a larger pool of metrics, data integrity became a primary concern. The demand for accurate, high-level insights meant Cascadia needed a single connected solution to minimize risks, streamline operations and save time. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Solution: Yardi Senior IQ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yardi Senior IQ is a business intelligence solution that surfaces real-time data in attractive,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>sharable dashboards. Drawing portfolio-wide data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/voyager-senior-housing\/\">Yardi Voyager<\/a>, the solution<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>provides pre-configured Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that help visualize important<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>metrics and industry benchmarks. Senior IQ provides the insights needed to act<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>confidently and make smarter, faster decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Story: Real-Time Data, Precise Insights &amp; Streamlined Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Senior IQ as their BI solution, Cascadia\u2019s data-pulling processes became automatic. No more devoting hours extracting raw data each month \u2014 manually searching for specific metrics, making calculations and transposing data into graphs and slide decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And by working with the Yardi team to build custom dashboards, Cascadia began targeting key metrics to evaluate their communities. This provides their teams and investors with precise insights at the click of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDrilling into an individual community is huge for us,\u201d explained Schefter. \u201cWe love to look at a trended view of metrics that we\u2019re worried about and see how we\u2019re doing. This includes revenue, average daily census, expenses, move ins, move outs and our average level of care that we\u2019re charting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution also helped Cascadia\u2019s operations team, who didn\u2019t have time to dig for data. With Senior IQ, team members can access the right insights and reports instantaneously. Schefter explained how this helps the team drill down important initiatives and align priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe biggest impact has been to our operations team,\u201d said Schefter. \u201cThey\u2019re constantly out in our communities, so they\u2019re not in front of a computer all the time. Now, they can quickly bring up the dashboards we\u2019ve built to see exactly how a particular community is performing. It\u2019s been a big win for us so far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read the full success story with Cascadia Senior Living &amp; Development, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/about-us\/success-stories\/cascadia-senior-living-on-yardi-senior-iq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visit Yardi resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does Yardi Senior IQ help senior living leaders streamline operations, save time and ensure data integrity?
