The only pre-construction budgeting tool built specifically for assisted living, memory care, CCRCs, and independent living communities. Know your real costs before breaking ground—not after it's too late.
The Senior Living Challenge
AL vs. MC vs. IL ratios shift constantly during planning. Each change ripples through staffing models, kitchen requirements, and regulatory compliance—and your budget.
Certificate of need timelines, state-specific life safety codes, and healthcare licensing requirements add costs that generic estimating tools miss entirely.
Developers build. Operators run. The disconnect between construction decisions and operational realities creates costly retrofits within the first year.
Dining venues, activity spaces, therapy rooms, beauty salons—the "soft" spaces that make communities competitive are chronically underbudgeted.
Building flexibility for residents to age in place requires infrastructure decisions made early—nurse call systems, medication rooms, lift equipment—that traditional estimates ignore.
Medicaid/Medicare rate constraints mean every dollar of overrun comes directly from margin. There's no passing costs to residents.
