Chapter 02 · Operating System

Everything your community runs on, in one place

One record per community, from the first tour to daily care, billing and compliance. Built for the humans who run it, and the same one your team already works in.

The system of record

One record for the whole community

Every resident, every shift and every dollar in one place. Nothing gets lost and nothing gets overwritten: every change keeps its history, so you can always see who did what, and when.

Sales and admissions

From first call to signed packet: a visual lead pipeline with tours, campaigns and referral sources, an AI front desk answering the phone, then e-signed admission packets and a Move-In Command Center whose steps verify themselves as the real work lands.

  • Lead pipeline, tours and conversion analytics
  • E-signed admission packets, ask-once intake
  • Move-In Command Center (auto-verified steps)
  • Medicaid pathways like STAR+PLUS
Sales and admissions

Care at the center

Resident and care management

Every resident gets a complete, secure record: profiles, care plans with signing teams, vitals with pain assessment, activities, incidents, safety flags and a FaceSheet that pulls it all together. Therapy EMR charts PT, OT and ST against the same chart.

  • Care plans with e-signing teams
  • Vitals, pain assessment and trends
  • Incident and activity tracking
  • Therapy EMR with SOAP notes and co-signing
Resident and care management

Medication, mastered

eMAR, med pass and pharmacy ops

A full electronic MAR: physician orders, scheduled med passes with tap-to-administer, documented holds and refusals, and automatic late/missed tracking, plus pharmacy receiving with packing-slip scanning, refill workflows and supply run-out forecasting.

  • Tap-to-administer med pass
  • MAR entries signed and timestamped
  • Pharmacy receiving and refill requests
  • Supply run-out forecasting
Run this morning's med pass

The pass itself, in your browser, on sample data. No account, no sign-up, nothing to install.

Money, handled

Billing and online payments

Charges roll into invoices, and money comes back on its own: families pay online by ACH or card, autopay runs monthly, and paper payments are recorded too. Rent roll, AR aging, collections, expenses, P&L and trust fund reports are built in.

  • Online family payments (ACH and card)
  • Autopay that runs itself
  • Rent roll, AR and collections reports
  • Expenses, P&L and trust fund

And so much more

Every stage covered, end to end

The rest of the operating system, in the same order you live it. Switch modules on as you grow.

Hiring, HR and training

A hiring pipeline with job postings, message and offer templates, HR document management, and training courses that issue certificates.

Build the schedule, see who is on today, and keep assignments straight across every community.

AI front desk

An AI receptionist answers the phone, qualifies inquiries, texts callers back and escalates what matters to your team.

sales

Fax and SMS built in

A fax line and SMS number per facility: send charts and referrals straight from the record, text families and applicants from a shared inbox.

Document e-signature

ESIGN/UETA-aligned admission packets and templates. Sign in person or send a secure remote link; signed documents file into the chart.

care

Family, physician and partner portals

Families pay and sign online, physicians review and sign orders remotely, home health and hospice partners chart their own residents.

Shift handoff board

A tablet kiosk for the nurses' station: shift-change ceremony, PIN-signed actions and a live board of what needs doing.

Provider directory and PCP visits

Centralized provider and institution directories with PCP visit tracking and problem lists.

Multi-facility reporting

Data isolation, role-based access and an All Facilities view with per-page facility overrides and consolidated reporting.

Authorization management per resident with payer info, modifiers, level of care and an Expiring Auths report.

compliance

Daily Roll and checklists

Exception-based attendance with a monthly grid, plus admission and compliance checklists tracked per resident.

compliance

Security and backups

HIPAA-compliant access control, PIN quick sign-in on facility devices, automatic idle sign-out and hourly encrypted off-site backups.

maintenance

Tasks, notes and @mentions

A cross-facility task center with Kanban and list views, a notes hub, and @mentions that notify teammates in context.

maintenance

Transport and vendors

Resident transport scheduling plus vendor and expense management, so the non-clinical work is tracked like everything else.

That is the inventory

Nothing above is a module you have to take to get the rest

Start with the record your community runs on and switch the rest on when you need them. Billing, therapy, payments and Medicaid come on later with no migration, and your data and setup carry over.

Live in production at Reunion Inn Assisted Living and Pine Lodge Assisted Living. Ask and we will put you on the phone with the people who run them.

What you would be committing to

  • Priced per community. The security controls on this site are in every plan, never an add-on.
  • Start with what you need. Billing, therapy, payments and Medicaid switch on later with no migration, and your data and setup carry over.
  • An AI employee role is an optional add-on: add one any month, drop one any month.
  • Residents, financials, reports and documents export to CSV, Excel and PDF at any time, from inside the product. No lock-in, no exit fee.

Aria, the superagent

Your agent inside the operating system.

Aria is the interface to the most advanced operating system in senior living. Anything a person can do in PEOPLE - AI Workforce, Aria can do for them: as their agent, with their access, at the speed of a pro.

Works as you

Aria signs in as you. It sees what you can see and changes what you can change, nothing more, and nothing you couldn't do yourself.

Reads, writes and analyzes

It reads the record, writes it up and works out what matters, the way an experienced colleague would, in seconds, without a typo.

Talk, type or show it

Speak to Aria, type to it, or hand it a photo, a fax or a form. It answers in words, a table, a chart or a filled-in screen, whichever fits the question.

A screen built for the moment

Ask about a resident, a bill or tonight's shift and Aria builds the view for exactly that. No hunting through menus.

Anywhere you are

On your phone, in the browser or on the office computer. The same Aria and the same record, from the hallway or the car park.

You press the button

Aria drafts a change whole and shows it to you first. Nothing lands on the record without a person's say-so.

Meet Aria

Ask in a sentence. Aria reads the record, does the work and shows you the result: and anything that changes a record waits for your button.

Medicaid, built in

Built for Medicaid communities.

Medicaid enrollment, managed-care authorizations, renewals and the state forms that gate a move-in live on the same record as the census, the care plan and the bill. Authorizations are tracked to the state's timeline, the paperwork behind each one is filed where it happened, and a Medicaid resident is admitted, cared for and billed like everyone else, on one record.
