Fountainview at Eisenberg Village, Reseda, CA

Fountainview, located in Reseda, California, is a high-end CCRC owned by the Jewish Home. The community opened in 2010 with 108 independent living residences. The problem – as of February 2012, Fountainview had only a 63% occupancy rate with 40 residences left to fill. The solution – Solutions Advisors was hired to conduct a marketing assessment to evaluate existing sales and marketing practices, make recommendations for improved velocity of sales, develop a comprehensive marketing plan, and implement new training practices to enable the sales team to reach occupancy goals. Concurrently, Retiring by Design developed new lead-generation strategies including execution of creative marketing campaigns to drive inquiries to the community. The result – both average inquiries per month and initial tours tripled by January 2013, with the occupancy level increasing to 91% of capacity. In addition, SA and RBD have been retained to assist the Jewish Home on its newest endeavor – a luxury CCRC on L.A.’s Westside that will open in 2016.
