Yardi Systems, a leading developer of real estate investment and property management software, announced Thursday that senior care residence operator CRL Senior Living Communities has selected Yardi Voyager Senior Housing to manage its rapidly expanding portfolio.

Sustaining high standards of care and operational efficiency following CRL’s recent expansion to 1,000 beds in 16 communities with more growth anticipated required a far more dynamic solution than the spreadsheets the company used to manage its initial 70-bed, four-community portfolio. “We selected Voyager Senior Housing because this software merges all of our marketing, clinical assessments, care management, accounting, and billing functions into one fully integrated platform,’’ said Ari Weinberger, president of CRL.

By tracking prospect conversion ratios, cost per lead, and additional marketing metrics, Voyager Senior Housing helps CRL determine the effectiveness of newspaper ads, direct mail, and other marketing campaign elements in attracting prospects. Voyager Senior Housing also enables CRL to track, manage, categorize and measure the performance of its multiple referral sources.

Based in Chicago, CRL specializes in operating and managing state-of-the-art senior care residences that deliver the highest standard of care in specially designed therapeutic environments. The company meets the needs of seniors with independent living, assisted living and Alzheimer’s/memory impairment care communities. CRL operates communities in six Wisconsin cities and is expanding throughout the state and the Midwest. For more information, visit www.crlcares.com.
