From First Tour to First Day: Creating a Better Move-In Experience for Families

Moving a loved one into a senior living community is an emotional and complex process. Families want reassurance that their loved one will receive the best care while navigating an overwhelming amount of paperwork, medical records, and logistical details. Unfortunately, many communities still rely on outdated move-in workflows that create unnecessary stress for families and administrative teams alike.

A modern move-in experience should be transparent, efficient, and family-friendly—ensuring that every document, signature, and detail is accounted for before move-in day. That’s where ECP Move-Ins comes in.

Why the Traditional Move-In Process Fails Families

For many communities, the move-in process is filled with manual steps that slow everything down. Families are often required to:

• Visit the community multiple times just to sign documents and provide medical records
• Juggle paperwork, emails, and phone calls to stay updated on what’s needed
• Wait for approval delays that can push back move-in dates, causing frustration

The reality is, a cumbersome move-in process doesn’t just inconvenience families—it can impact a community’s ability to onboard residents efficiently and maintain high occupancy rates.

How ECP Move-Ins Creates a Better Family Experience

ECP Move-Ins eliminates these common roadblocks, ensuring that families feel informed, empowered, and stress-free throughout the move-in journey.

• Digital Signatures & Document Uploads – Families can complete and submit forms from anywhere, reducing unnecessary visits and delays.
• Real-Time Progress Tracking – No more guessing what's needed. Families and staff can see exactly where a move-in stands at any time.
• Seamless Integration with ECP Clinical – Every resident’s information flows directly into ECP Clinical, eliminating duplicate data entry and ensuring a smooth transition to care.
• Customizable Workflows – Communities can tailor move-in steps to match their unique process while keeping everything organized in one place.

The Impact: Happier Families, More Efficient Communities

When families experience a seamless move-in process, their confidence in the community grows. A well-organized, transparent workflow sets the tone for a positive resident experience while also saving time for staff.

By modernizing move-ins, communities can:

• Reduce administrative workload for staff
• Improve communication between families and the community
• Speed up onboarding, ensuring new residents receive timely care
