A.L. Wizard Selected by ARV Assisted Living to Automate Management at 60 Communities

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - September 10, 2002   A.L.Wizard, Inc. today announced that ARV Assisted Living of Costa Mesa, Calif., has chosen A.L. Wizard's assisted living software to automate and streamline operations at its 60 communities located in eleven states. A.L. Wizard is an affordable software program that provides comprehensive tools for the management of assisted living operations, including resident services, staffing and cost analysis.

ARV's communities, which serve seniors who may need assistance with the activities of daily living, will use A.L. Wizard to improve the efficiency of the day-to-day functions of managing resident care. The intuitive software automates the process of conducting a thorough assessment of resident needs and generating a comprehensive service plan, while accurately tracking costs at the hands-on level.

According to Abdo Khoury, president and chief financial officer of ARV Assisted Living, "We went through an extensive evaluation process before selecting A.L. Wizard to enhance the management capabilities for our assisted living operations. With its superior ease of use and natural integration with our daily tasks, our staff can quickly reap the benefits of its automated assessment tools. This software, like many other programs we use, complements our objective to provide our employees with the best tools available to service our residents. Our commitment to training and technology is evidenced through the many initiatives we have undertaken over the last several years."

Using a monthly subscription model, A.L. Wizard hosts and delivers its software to assisted living communities via an online network. With this method, assisted living administrators can monitor resident care in their communities with minimal upfront capital expenses and predictable costs. In the case of ARV, the company will host the software at its Costa Mesa headquarters and distribute it directly to its 60 communities via the company's network.

"We've worked hard to ensure that our software provides the information our customers need to deliver high quality resident care and profitably run their business, while being extremely user-friendly," said Rose Lochmann, president and CEO of A.L. Wizard, Inc. "This vote of confidence from ARV validates our efforts and assures us that we can continue to meet the needs of the assisted living industry for many years to come."
