Meet COGIR Senior Living<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COGIR Senior Living puts their residents first. As a subsidiary of COGIR Real Estate, COGIR draws upon 25 years of residential and senior living management, as well as hospitality services. Their unwavering drive to build more homes for seniors \u2014 and their dedication to quality \u2014 has positioned the company as the industry leader they are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge with disparate systems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time they established a strong U.S. foundation, COGIR\u2019s day-today operations involved manual processes. From tracking leads to developing new care plans, teams across the company were navigating a mixture of paper-based and electronic systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While COGIR did have some software tools in place, each system wasn\u2019t necessarily connected to the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

next. Leadership worked to unite every piece on their own using different strategies. Ultimately, the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

integration of the different systems \u2014 a custom infrastructure \u2014 brought new challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe integration between all our moving pieces worked with some restrictions, but there was a lack of operational efficiency,\u201d said Levesque. \u201cToo often we were hearing, \u2018I don\u2019t know if the finance software talks to EHR\u2019 or \u2018The CRM system isn\u2019t speaking to our finance software.\u2019 This was bringing additional work as we needed to hand-key information, all while ensuring the systems were communicating, on a regular basis, with no discrepancies. That wasn\u2019t the best use of our time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COGIR was ready for a single connected solution<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success with a new solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help their staff streamline communication and care, COGIR chose a trusted, single connected solution. The U.S. team began their journey with the Yardi Senior Living Suite<\/a>. \u201cThe Yardi platform was a known solution for COGIR. It\u2019s a fantastic product,\u201d said Levesque. The Yardi Senior Living Suite replaces disparate systems with one integrated platform combining resident care, sales, finance, business intelligence and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools like Yardi Voyager Senior Housing<\/a>, RentCafe Senior CRM<\/a>, Yardi EHR<\/a> and Yardi eMAR<\/a> keep COGIR\u2019s communities in sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
