A.L. Wizard Raises Revenues for Assisted Living
Communities
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - September 5, 2003
A.L. Wizard, Inc., provider of software solutions
for managing assisted living communities, today reported that a growing
number of A.L. Wizard customers are realizing significant revenue
increases as a result of using the software solution. Customers report
dramatic returns on investment (ROI), since the solution is extremely
intuitive, easy to deploy and adopt, and cost-effective to operate
(web-based) - yet delivers so much value to care providers and managers
watching the bottom line.
A.L. Wizard provides the only scalable assisted living software solution
designed for national providers that manage multiple communities.
Using A.L. Wizard, community managers and staff can easily track day-to-day
resident acuity, care and services while gaining new management control
over resource allocation, cost of service and profitability. National
and regional managers of multiple communities gain consistent oversight
across communities, and the insights to be proactive about budgeting
and staffing. Using the new Marketing capabilities, community managers
can also proactively manage the resident census, pre-qualify prospective
residents, and readily fill vacancies.
"As a direct result of adopting A.L. Wizard, an Arizona-based customer
(who asked to remain anonymous) has increased direct care revenues
by $7,000 per month in one community, and they expect similar increases
in their other communities," said Rose Lochmann, President of
A.L Wizard. "Another large customer reports that it can now manage
staff more effectively, due to the accuracy of A.L. Wizard acuity
assessments. They suspected their low acuity buildings were overstaffed,
but didn't have the objective data to prove it."
A Washington-based provider cites raising its resident care charges
by 21%, 24% and 43% respectively in three of its communities, for
an estimated annual impact of $500,000 - mostly attributable to more
efficient capture of acuities and services in the A.L. Wizard system.
A.L. Wizard's software suite is quickly becoming the de facto standard
for managing resident assessments and analyzing the acuity needs in
assisted living communities. Most recently, the state of North Carolina
adopted A.L. Wizard's method in lieu of their own state assessment
tool. Similarly, several other multi-community providers have abandoned
their home grown assessment metrics in favor of A.L. Wizard's. "Our
acuity management methodology incorporates decades of hands-on care
experience, as well as industry best practices drawn from our increasing
national customer base," said Lochmann. "Customer's find
that it is superior to anything they've used before, and is an intelligent
alternative to simply automating what they use today."
