Looking for new ways to use electronic health records (EHRs) in senior living? We’re pleased to sponsor a new white paper, Beyond Basics: Four Fresh Strategies for Using EHRs, which shows how senior living providers can get the most out of EHRs in all areas of operation. Keep reading for highlights, including insights from our director of healthcare solutions and EHR expert, Fil Southerland. Enhance resident satisfaction & operational efficiency A good EHR partner helps senior living operators deliver more efficient, higher quality care that is personalized for residents’ individual needs. The white paper categorizes four main areas of operations where they can apply EHRs in innovative ways: Preventing falls Enhancing dining programming Streamlining intake and transfer experiences Optimizing vital sign documentation Learn from industry experts To gain perspective on senior living operations with EHRs, Senior Housing News interviewed Southerland and representatives from four Yardi EHR partners: SafelyYou, eMenuCHOICE, Kno2 and DS smart. “With an operation that’s effectively using an EHR to proactively surface issues that may need attention, you can prevent expensive acute care encounters,” Southerland said. How does Yardi work with EHR partners? Yardi EHR is an electronic health record system for senior living providers. It offers comprehensive tools for medication management, clinical reporting and seamless information flow.

Did you know that residents can choose their electricity provider in certain markets? Retail energy markets give consumers the power of choice, which includes the ability to select a competitive energy rate. Read on for information about retail energy providers, green alternatives and where renters are finding the best deregulated energy sources to protect against rising electricity rates. Energy basics: the electric grid Most consumers take it for granted that the lights will turn on at the flip of a switch. However, the system that makes this possible is complex, involving power plants, transmission lines and various market participants. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. electric grid comprises more than 12,500 utility-scale power plants that serve more than 160 million customers. Electricity isn’t easily stored, so grid operators and regional balancing authorities must constantly work to balance production and consumption. While supply and demand influence the price of electricity, regulators closely monitor and govern the market. Some authorities work to ensure grid stability while others focus on supplying and billing consumers for the electricity they draw from the grid. Under the traditional model, consumers depend on a single, tightly regulated provider in a vertically integrated power market. In deregulated energy markets (including 17 states and the District of Columbia), multiple energy providers compete to sell retail electricity to residences and businesses. This provides consumers the choice to shop among various retail plans, which offer competitive pricing, green energy options and other value-added services. Power in consumers’ hands With the freedom to choose the best deregulated energy sources comes the challenge of selecting the right plan. Understanding contract terms, rates, hidden fees and energy plan options can help businesses and residential energy users manage costs. So, how can renters make the...

Did you know that over the next decade, the U.S. population aged 70 and older will increase by 15 million? According to a 2025 report released by PwC and the Urban Land Institute, “This supply-demand tension sets up an environment ripe for innovation and strategic positioning for the next chapter of senior housing development.” As the 70+ population continues to grow, and the number of residents in senior living communities increase, energy consumption will be one of many issues for operators. This applies to both the construction of new buildings and the upkeep of existing ones. Energy is an area where innovation can help. Without technology built to monitor energy consumption and identify areas for improvement, senior living operators face heightened costs. Fortunately, solutions like the Yardi Energy Suite equip you to reduce costs, enhance efficiency and comply with energy benchmarking regulations. The rise of energy consumption The average building wastes roughly one-third of the energy it consumes, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. This could be a result of not having the right solution in place to track consumption and identify savings opportunities. Energy matters in senior living in this time of growth. But monitoring consumption and strategizing ways to save energy and money isn’t easy without technology to help. How to save With the right solution, you can boost efficiency and save money while meeting state, county and local benchmarking regulations for your communities, and there are about 50 jurisdictions with mandatory energy benchmarking and transparency policies for existing buildings. Imagine the impact if you could monitor consumption, improve utility billing, identify conservation opportunities and measure results. But which tech solution is right for you?   Achieve more with the Yardi Energy Suite Let’s take a look at the Yardi Energy Suite — our full-service...

Across the U.S., commercial and residential property owners are required to comply with ENERGY STAR® energy benchmarking and transparency policies. In these jurisdictions, metrics ranging from electricity usage per square foot to greenhouse gas emission volumes must be reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®, the most widely used energy reporting compliance system in North America. Gathering data Gathering the volume of required energy consumption and billing data and submitting it can be daunting. This is especially true for property management staff who are short on time or energy expertise. Fortunately, clients using the Yardi Energy Suite can draw on resources at every stage of the process. “We have many creative ways to get whole building data that aren’t available from most other property management software providers,” said Christy Cannon, a solutions consultant for Yardi Energy. For example, Energy Efficiency offers a cost-effective alternative to shadow metering. This method tracks individual energy usage in multi-tenant buildings by reading tenants’ utility meters for accurate billing. The data, along with common area usage from utility bills, is pushed into Portfolio Manager and used to generate a performance score. “Along with generating a score, the data can produce some really good metrics that help building owners understand their performance,” Cannon said. Bringing clarity with meters & dashboards Yardi’s manual utility meter reading service can read resident or tenant utility meters monthly, bimonthly, quarterly or at other intervals. Monthly or bimonthly readings allow the property to apply for ENERGY STAR Building Certification. A mobile meter reading app transfers the data into a dashboard where it’s aggregated into whole building data. “This approach provides a granular look at consumption, and we can separate common areas from tenant areas for greater clarity,” Cannon said. Another approach...

As you know, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is constantly keeping us on our toes and for good reason. The HOTMA voucher final rule introduces changes as part of a collective effort to enhance housing stability and address rising rents. For Public Housing Agencies (PHAs), keeping up with HUD changes is key to staying compliant and providing the best possible support to families.  Gabrielle Van Horn, senior director at Yardi and an expert in PHA compliance and operations, explains, “Our goal at Yardi is to help PHAs navigate HUD’s evolving requirements. The latest changes reflect greater flexibility and responsiveness in the HCV program.” Let’s take a closer look at these recent changes and how they may impact your agency. Notice PIH 2024-34 HUD recently released Notice PIH 2024-34, which provides guidance for PHAs on Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) payment standards as part of HOTMA voucher final rule. These changes are mandated by the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization (HOTMA) Act of 2016 and are designed to increase flexibility and equity in the HCV program. Relevant changes include how PHAs manage increases and decreases in payment standards, as well as adjustments to family composition and voucher size. Payment standard increase Under the notice, PHAs are now required to implement increases in payment standards during interim reexaminations, rather than waiting until annual reexamination or when moving into a new unit. This adjustment allows families to get help faster when rents go up. If the payment standard increases for households under a Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract, they will get the benefit of the new payment standard at the earliest of: A change in the gross rent or family share An interim or annual reexamination One year after the effective date of the new...

Senior living providers, like all property managers, must carefully screen prospective residents to ensure the safety of their communities. To avoid issues and liability risks, it’s important to examine criminal history and verify income when identifying new residents. And while resident screening may sound simple, keeping track of all requirements — for each individual prospect — is challenging. That’s why an automated screening system, one tailored to senior living communities, is essential. Fortunately for Yardi clients using RentCafe Senior CRM, that exact system is integrated into the resident move-in workflow. Meet ScreeningWorks Pro, our tenant background check solution. Why use resident screening? ScreeningWorks Pro provides comprehensive reports and automated recommendations to help senior living providers select low-risk residents, ensuring a safer environment for everyone. You can access critical information in real time, and results are customized to meet your criteria. Best of all, everything is compiled in one centralized system. That’s because ScreeningWorks Pro is integrated with the Voyager leasing workflow in Senior CRM. Both Senior CRM and ScreeningWorks Pro can communicate back and forth to: Submit applicant information for screening Submit changes to existing screenings Communicate application results back into the system’s screening page Benefits of ScreeningWorks Pro What else sets ScreeningWorks Pro apart?

Last year, Yardi joined a select club of businesses to whom the Better Business Bureau grants membership. The BBB accepted Yardi after completing an accreditation process that certified the company’s rigorous ethical practices in business operations, dispute resolution and data protection. The BBB, founded in 1912 and based in Arlington, Virginia, is a nonprofit organization that partners with leading companies to promote best practices in business ethics, marketplace excellence and effective industry self-regulation. More than 90 BBB chapters are active in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Benefits of BBB membership include positive visibility and credibility among consumers and other businesses. Accredited businesses can leverage online BBB advertising, marketing and media resources, along with a plaque, certificate and window decals. The membership also offers consumers a platform for resolving disputes and posting reviews. “These tools will help you to enhance your reputation and build a better business,” says Rick Copelan, president and CEO of the BBB chapter that encompasses the tri-county area around Yardi’s headquarters in Santa Barbara, California. This chapter approves only 6% of applications for certification. “Earning BBB membership helps us show our clients and the real estate markets we serve that we’re committed to delivering high-quality products and services while upholding the highest standard of ethical conduct,” says Arnold Brier, senior vice president and general counsel for...

Happy February! Our senior living clients shared stories of warmth and love this winter, captured on social media and blogs. Embrace the spirit of love in senior living communities with vibrant flowers, the beauty of art, delightful dining experiences and cherished wedding anniversaries. Nature’s love letters Maplewood Senior Living shared a flower-arranging activity from Maplewood at Darien, an event to encourage the power of creativity to enrich the lives of residents. Maplewood shared that arranging flowers “not only brought out their artistic flair but also fostered a sense of accomplishment and joy.” Celebrating February as HEART month, Maplewood also shared about raising money for the HEART Foundation and highlighted inspiring stories of love in Maplewood communities.    Cooking up memories and sweet treats Special food and cooking events are popular activities at many of our clients’ communities. The Bristal Assisted Living shared a gathering of the Foodie Club at The Bristal at Lake Grove where residents made strawberry shortcake. Brandywine by Monarch shared pictures from Princeton by Monarch, where the community warmed up a cold day by surprising residents who signed up for the “mystery ride” activity with a stop for hot chocolate and sweet treats.

As senior living communities navigate ways to adopt value-based care approaches that improve resident health outcomes and increase operational returns, proactive technology solutions can make a big difference. What if you could track residents’ mobility and prevent falls using motion analysis from smartphone sensors? OneStep, a leader in AI-powered digital care technology, is now partnering with us to provide an interface with Yardi EHR that generates clinical insights from residents’ everyday movements. Empowering proactive resident monitoring OneStep’s advanced motion analysis and monitoring tools connect with Yardi EHR to add a reliable, data-driven way to enhance resident well-being. How does it work? OneStep uses motion intelligence from smartphones for gait analysis. A resident’s gait is a leading indicator of health, and senior living providers and other clinicians can use data from the smartphone sensors — without any special wearable devices — for remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM). With actionable data to assess, treat and monitor residents, providers can deliver precise and proactive care to improve mobility and enhance resident engagement. This informed care can prevent falls and reduce functional declines. A big step for value-based care Through this collaboration, Yardi EHR clients gain easy access to motion insights from OneStep. These insights equip senior care providers with proactive strategies for resident monitoring, particularly beneficial for communities that are transitioning to value-based care. Robust fall prevention and resident health monitoring are essential to achieving improved outcomes and reduced costs. “We’re excited to partner with Yardi to make our mobility and falls prevention technology accessible to senior living communities,” says Pat Tarnowski, chief commercial officer of OneStep. “Being listed among Yardi’s trusted vendors adds to the accessibility and visibility of OneStep’s technology, allowing more facilities to benefit from innovative, data-driven care solutions that elevate resident safety and quality...

Here’s the latest of our periodic updates on projects sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), which calls itself “the disruption wing of the U.S. Department of Energy that funds and directs the discovery of outlier energy technologies that are strategic to America’s energy security.” Recently announced projects include: Enhancing grid resilience Thirty million dollars in ARPA-E grants announced in January will go toward developing technologies designed to enhance the reliability of America’s power grid. The Grid Reliability with Automatic Damping and Inertia for Electrical Networks and Transmission Systems (GRADIENTS) program aims to develop hardware and software technologies, such as power electronics controls, intelligent relays and optimization algorithms, for balancing energy consumption and production. “GRADIENTS technologies will help incorporate a variety of generation sources and stabilize the grid to prevent cascading failures that can lead to dangerous and costly blackouts,” said Evelyn N. Wang, director of ARPA-E, who added that the projects will “enable better grid coordination, protection and real-time control.” Hot new power source Also in January, ARPA-E announced funding to spur geothermal power production. Geothermal baseload production in the U.S. is limited to 4 gigawatts (GW). The Stimulate Utilization of Plentiful Energy in Rocks through High-temperature Original Technologies (SUPERHOT) project aims to provide access to superhot reservoirs deep within the Earth that are capable of producing up to 20 GW of reliable baseload power. Research will center around developing designing systems and materials capable of surviving superhot conditions. “Geothermal is a reliable and secure baseload power source, but today we are only able to access a fraction of the energy it can provide,” Wang said. “SUPERHOT projects can change that and allow access to hotter reservoirs to create more domestic flow of energy onto America’s grid.” Making the most of waste...

What if you could save thousands of dollars and hours each year while improving your utility management processes? Jessica Stevens, director of business systems and technology at BRG Realty, recently shared how the Yardi Energy Suite has helped the company overcome challenges and achieve tangible results by transforming their processes, improving efficiency and increasing recovery by nearly $650,000. About BRG Realty BRG Realty Group, LLC is a multifamily property management company serving greater Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and areas of Kentucky and Indiana. Their mission is to foster high-quality communities through innovative management, providing dependable services to residents, associates and business partners. Transforming processes Within the past few years, BRG has grown rapidly. To support their rapid growth, they needed to streamline operations and manage utilities more efficiently. To ease the burden on their accounting team and improve financial recovery from utility costs, BRG chose the Yardi Energy Suite, built into Voyager, as their solution. While the initial transition was “nerve-wracking” for the accounts payable (AP) team, they quickly realized the value. “Now they never want to go back,” Stevens said. Additionally, Yardi Pulse reports provide real-time data and analytics, helping BRG to detect and address issues like leaks or equipment failures promptly. Their team has been able to save 1,500 hours annually with Utility Billing and Utility Invoice Processing. Stevens described the transformation as “huge,” underscoring the substantial positive impact on their business. This investment has raised resident utility billing cost recovery from 70% to over 81% in just two years. With Yardi, BRG has saved countless hours, enabling them to support the company’s rapid expansion. Stevens explains, “From 2021 to 2023, we recovered a little over $650,000, and by 2024, we’re projected to recover 86%. It’s real dollars we can take and put...

Reflect culture through the language of color. Let’s explore how Pantone’s Color of the Year will capture the real estate market with cultural comfort and collective desire. The 2025 Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse (17-1230), described as “A warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.” Aside from the velvety, smooth and mouthwatering dessert, Mocha Mousse is a versatile color that can evoke humbleness and comfort while still on the luxe level. And who couldn’t use some comfort this year? This soft, warming brown hue can be used in various designs across most industries, inspiring creativity and innovation. Elevate curb appeal and interior design with this timeless beauty Mocha Mousse is a warm brown hue, adding a sophisticated and inviting look to the property’s exterior. Shutters and front doors in Mocha Mousse, paired with neutral siding and metallic hardware, offer a welcoming focal point. Shutters in Mocha Mousse can frame windows beautifully. Incorporate subtle contrasts using Mocha Mousse with taupe, beige and blue. Or create more of a relaxed elegance with beige, cream and amber.

Think of a springtime garden with floral blends using Mocha Mousse. A shaded willow green leading down a pathway of gray cobblestone completes nature’s harmony, creating a cohesive look with nature-inspired design trends. For interior design, some may fear that Mocha Mousse may be what “millennial gray” did in the early 2010s, but when using Mocha Mousse, it adds more warmth to space and leans towards the moody art deco tones in a non-committal way. This warm, earthy neutral feels rich and grounded...
