Today’s senior living industry is driven by a demand for communities that are not just residences, but hubs of vibrant and fulfilling lifestyles. Staying competitive in this market means choosing the right locations for each facility, providing services and activities appealing to the area’s seniors, and developing strategic marketing campaigns to reach them.

Traditionally, the insights needed to successfully open and operate a leading senior living facility required extensive and complex data science workflows, not to mention sourcing the right datasets to begin with. These barriers often prevent senior living facilities from reaching their full potential, as many organizations are not equipped to fully harness the power of data to unlock location intelligence insights.

Luckily, accessible location intelligence solutions are available, a fact some of the industry’s most successful brands are using to drive strategic growth. In this blog, we’ll explore how Datastory works with one leading national senior living facility brand to optimize and expand their site selection strategy in today’s hyper-competitive market.
