Strengthen Your Community with Integrated Facilities Management

Senior living communities focus on ensuring their residents thrive in a safe environment tailored to fit their needs. And helping them thrive often begins with a strong integrated facilities management (IFM) program, which empowers residents to live their best lives while providing greater cost efficiencies to your community.

Comprising what’s known as “hard” FM such as HVAC services, lighting, and plumbing, and “soft” FM such as laundry and other housekeeping services, IFM provides multiple services through one company. By centralizing services, communities can streamline their costs and elevate resident, employee, and guest satisfaction by creating a safe and healthy environment. Generating greater value from these resources will help your community stand apart from the competition and open new doors of possibility.

What Senior Living Communities Need

Senior living communities prioritize their residents’ quality of life, from everyday events to special experiences. The behind-the-scenes operations of these communities is complex because of the number of people involved and seniors’ health-related risk factors. At the same time, the leadership has to meet their budget targets, manage day-to-day operations, and deal with labor and supply issues.
