Assisted & Senior LivingDigital marketing for assisted & senior living

More tours booked. More apartments filled. Fewer referral fees.

The person choosing your community is usually a daughter in her fifties, researching at 11 pm after a hard phone call about Mom. She needs to trust you before she ever calls. We make your community the one she finds, believes and books a tour with — and we stay with her through the months it takes to decide.

  • Rank in the map pack for “assisted living near me”
  • Google Ads that book tours, not just clicks
  • Nurture email built for 3–9 month decisions
  • Own your leads instead of paying aggregator fees

The difference

Families don’t buy an apartment. They choose who will care for Mom.

Moving a parent into senior living is one of the most emotional decisions an adult child will ever make, and it rarely happens in a straight line. It starts with a fall or a worrying doctor’s visit, stalls with guilt and cost, and restarts with a crisis. If your community isn’t visible, transparent and trusted at every step, that family ends up with an aggregator — and you pay a referral fee for a resident who might have found you directly.

Without a growth system

  • Aggregator sites outrank you for your own community name
  • Referral fees of roughly a month’s rent per move-in
  • Website hides pricing and has no virtual tour
  • Inquiries go cold during a months-long decision
  • No idea which channel actually produced move-ins

With Elite Information Tech

  • Top 3 map-pack visibility for every care level you offer
  • Direct inquiries you own — no per-move-in fee
  • Virtual tours, floor plans and honest starting prices
  • Automated nurture that keeps families engaged until they’re ready
  • Every tour and move-in traced back to its source
The playbook

6 strategies that turn online searches into move-ins

Each strategy works on its own. Together they form a system: get found by worried families, earn their trust, make the tour easy to book, and stay helpful until the moment they’re ready to move.

Strategy 01 · Own “assisted living near me”

Show up first when families search for care nearby

Families search by care level and by town — often the town they live in, not the one Mom lives in. We optimize your Google Business Profile, care-level pages and local citations so you appear for assisted living, memory care and independent living searches across your full referral radius.

  • Google Business Profile with care levels, amenities, photos, Q&A and weekly posts
  • Separate pages for assisted living, memory care, independent living and respite stays
  • Reclaim searches for your own community name from aggregator listings
  • Structured content so AI answers in Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity cite you

Strategy 02 · Tours within weeks

Search ads that reach families at the moment of need

Senior living searches are high-value and highly competitive. We build Google Search and Performance Max campaigns around care level, location and urgency, with call-only ads for evenings and weekends — and we follow Google’s healthcare policies, so no remarketing based on medical conditions.

  • “Memory care near [city]” and “respite care” campaigns by care level
  • Call extensions routed to a trained sales counselor, not a switchboard
  • Geo-targeting that includes where adult children live, not just your ZIP code
  • Meta ads run under the Housing Special Ad Category for Fair Housing compliance

Strategy 03 · Your always-open front door

A website that answers the questions families are afraid to ask

Families want to see the apartments, the dining room, the activity calendar and, above all, a price range before they call. We design fast, accessible websites with virtual tours, floor plans, transparent “starting from” pricing and a one-click tour scheduler — with large type and high contrast for the parents who browse too.

  • Virtual tours, floor plans and real photos of residents and staff (with consent)
  • “Starting from” pricing and a plain-English guide to what’s included
  • Online tour booking with day, time and who’s attending
  • HIPAA-aware forms that never ask for diagnoses or medical history

Strategy 04 · Win the long decision

Stay helpful through the months it takes to decide

Most families aren’t ready on the first call. We segment inquiries by care need and timeline, then send useful, empathetic content — how to talk to a parent about moving, how to compare costs, what to ask on a tour — with gentle invitations to events, so you’re the obvious choice when they’re ready.

  • Nurture tracks for “researching”, “within 90 days” and “urgent” families
  • Event invitations: open houses, caregiver support groups, lunch-and-learns
  • CRM integration with Enquire, Yardi, Sherpa, Salesforce or your system
  • Lead-to-tour and tour-to-move-in follow-up reminders for your sales team

Strategy 05 · Professional referrals

Become the first call for discharge planners and physicians

Hospital case managers, geriatricians, elder law attorneys and placement advisors refer families every week. We build dedicated referral-partner pages, a fast referral form and LinkedIn outreach, and we position your memory care program with the clinical depth that professionals look for.

  • Referral-partner portal with care criteria, availability and a direct line
  • Memory care pages explaining your approach, staffing and secure environment
  • LinkedIn and email programs for case managers and senior advisors
  • Respite and short-stay offers for post-hospital transitions

Strategy 06 · Know what fills apartments

Earn trusted reviews and see exactly which channels drive move-ins

Families read reviews closely, especially the negative ones. We set up ethical review requests for residents and families, help you respond with care and without disclosing private information, and connect calls, forms and tours to a dashboard that shows cost per move-in by channel.

  • Review requests timed to positive moments, never to residents in decline
  • Response templates that protect resident privacy
  • Call tracking and tour attribution back to SEO, Ads, email and referrals
  • Monthly census-focused report and strategy call

Your demand calendar

We plan around the moments when families decide

Senior living demand follows family rhythms. We prepare campaigns ahead of each season so you’re visible when adult children are paying the closest attention.

Jan–Feb

Mar–May

Jun–Aug

Summer visits

Out-of-town children visit and tour in person; geo-targeted ads reach them before they arrive.

Before winter

Concerns about isolation, falls and snow drive decisions; respite stays and year-end move-ins.

How quickly will we see more tours and move-ins?

Google Ads can start producing tour requests within two to three weeks. Local SEO and map-pack rankings usually show clear movement in 60–120 days. Because senior living decisions often take months, move-ins from new inquiries tend to build steadily over the first two quarters.

Can you help us rely less on A Place for Mom and other aggregators?

Yes. That is one of our main goals. By ranking your own website and Google profile for care-level searches and nurturing your own inquiries, more families contact you directly, so you avoid referral fees and own the relationship from the start.

Should we publish our pricing online?

In most markets, yes. Families research costs before they call, and a clear “starting from” range with an explanation of what’s included builds trust and filters for fit. We help you present pricing honestly without locking you into a single number.

How do you handle Fair Housing and HIPAA?

We use inclusive imagery and language, avoid discriminatory targeting, run Meta ads under the Housing Special Ad Category and follow Google’s healthcare ad policies. Forms never ask for diagnoses, and we keep third-party tracking off pages where families might share health information.

Can you market our memory care program specifically?

Yes. Memory care families search differently and need more reassurance. We build dedicated pages, ads and nurture content that explain your approach, staffing, security and daily life with dementia-informed sensitivity.

Do we need a long-term contract?

No. We earn your business month after month. Our average client stays over four years because the results keep coming, not because of a contract.
