Gardant Management Solutions has 20+ years of industry-acclaimed operational history in developing, managing and consulting for senior living, assisted living and memory care communities.
Services
We offer a full suite of services engaged for you.
There is a growing need for senior living, assisted living and memory care communities that serve potential residents of all incomes. Currently, as many as 60% of those at an age most likely to need assisted living or memory care lack the financial resources to be able to afford the monthly fee charged by most of the communities that are currently in operation or under development. And Baby Boomers will have significantly less financial resources available to them in their retirement years than their parents making the situation even worst.
The takeaway for those of us in the business is that the business is becoming evermore complex and challenging. A fresh perspective is critical. That’s where we can help. We know how to reduce operating expenses. How to enhance margins and the bottom line. How to broaden audience appeal to fill communities faster. How to run effectively, efficiently, profitably. We know how to do all this because we’re committed to the service-enriched housing business. It’s in our DNA. We’re committed to leading the industry forward and bringing what we do to others in the business.
How you use our services is based on your needs. From full-service management to project development to consulting services, we can focus what we do to drive what you do.
