Senior Living Communities

Care for your residents and your bottom line.

Senior living communities and assisted living facilities aren’t just businesses–they are homes to often vulnerable residents and older adults who count on their facilities to help ensure the best possible quality of life. Optimizing your spend on business services including medical care, food costs, linens and laundry, skilled nursing, and much more can make a big difference not only in your bottom line, but in your ability to provide added value to the people depending on you. You save without changing vendors, disrupting operations, or impact existing GPO enrollments and rebates.

Enable your staff to remain focused on resident care and topline growth while drive sustainable cost reductions on your behalf.

Keep your elder care facility operations running smoothly with no changes to service levels, vendors, or operations.

Our Process

Review Vendor Spend
We look at 12 months of expenses across all categories from your general ledger to give you the big picture view of your spend and identify high-potential savings areas.
Define the Scope and Roadmap
Decide which expenses you want to tackle first. We meet with internal stakeholders in each expense category to gather additional details and data and obtain authorization letters permitting us to work directly with your vendors.
Analyze, Negotiate, and Present the Opportunity
We thoroughly audit your spend, invoices, and contract terms and conditions, uncovering every area for savings and optimization with existing vendors and services. Upon request, we can also look at sourcing alternate vendors. You review the full scope of opportunities and decide which to approve and implement.
Implement Savings Strategies
We put new contracts and rates into effect and provide your internal teams with documentation of all new pricing agreements, terms, and conditions. When you save, we share a portion of the savings, so there are no upfront costs and no risks to you.
Validate Savings and Ensure Contract Compliance
We partner with you throughout the scope of your new contracts and service agreements to keep vendors in compliance, validate savings, and ensure you are receiving all negotiated services. We proactively look for new or additional savings opportunities to ensure best-in-market rates for the long term.

See What Our Clients Say

“…SIB achieved major savings across the board without diminishing our vendor services or relationships… Their findings were clear and detailed and accurate…I would gladly recommend SIB to other large healthcare providers that could use help with an outside audit.”

Jason Dobry, MBA, CPSM

Senior Director of Spend Management

“SIB has been a valuable partner in helping us evaluate our fixed cost landscape and find ways to reduce expenses without sacrificing the quality of our services and vendor relationships. The majority of savings resulted from simple rate reductions that SIB’s consultants negotiated with our service providers for landscaping, laundry service, elevator maintenance, pest control, wireless communications, and waste removal.”

Lynne L. Kerrison

CFO

“We engaged SIB to review a number of recurring spend areas including telecom, waste hauling, and maintenance contracts. We were pleased with the results and the minimal time it took us get gather what they needed to review our vendor rates and contracts. The best part was that SIB was able to reduce our property tax bill by $40,000 annually for one location.”
