Choose the right perspective

Match the consultant's specialty, such as sales and census building, community operations, memory care or development and finance, to the problem you need to solve. Ask whether they have run communities themselves and whether they can step in with interim leadership or will advise from outside.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01What are the first things you look at when a community's occupancy is falling?
  2. 02How should we staff and price a new memory care program?
  3. 03Which feasibility checks should we run before committing to a new senior living development?
