Looking to boost revenue by engaging seniors earlier in their decision journey-before they move to your community? Friendship Village Senior Services in St. Louis, MO, shares two membership programs designed to expand the prospect pipeline while strengthening long-term occupancy and revenue performance. These programs allow prospective residents to participate in social events, use community amenities, and access comprehensive campus-based health services, supported by a personal concierge and an exclusive member-only app. Learn how this model shortens the sales cycle, reduces barriers to senior living residency, helps fill hard-to-sell small apartments, and drives downstream revenue through ancillary services such as home care, private duty, and hospice.
