Senior living decisions are made by families, not individuals
70%+ of senior living decisions are driven by adult children. Conversations need to handle the family decision dynamic — and most leasing platforms don’t.
Lost leases, frustrated families
Senior Living Pre-Leasing
AI outreach that fills senior living units with the right residents
Frontdesk handles the full senior living pre-leasing journey — from adult-child inquiries to tour coordination, level-of-care qualification, and waitlist conversion — with patient, accessible conversation and full sync to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan.
A purpose-built pre-leasing and waitlist conversion engine for senior living, 55+, independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities. Frontdesk handles the family-driven decision journey by talking with adult children, surviving spouses, and prospective residents — with patient, hearing-impaired-friendly voice, accessible SMS, and bilingual coverage. Reactivates aged leads from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, ApartmentList, Zumper, Rent.com, HotPads, A Place for Mom, Caring.com, and SeniorAdvisor.com. Bidirectional sync with Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, Yardi Senior Housing, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and Funnel CRM. Replaces senior-living call-center seats and the limited senior-living features of EliseAI, Zuma, Respage, BetterBot, and Funnel Leasing.

The Problem
Level-of-care qualification is sensitive and slow
Independent living, assisted living, memory care — each has different qualification, pricing, and care needs. Mismatched qualification wastes everyone’s time.
Wrong-fit tours, lost trust
Hearing-impaired and elderly callers need patience
A standard leasing bot that interrupts, talks too fast, or doesn’t handle hearing impairment frustrates elderly prospects and their families.
Lost prospects
Senior living waitlists require ongoing nurture
Senior living waitlists are long — and without ongoing re-verification and nurture, waitlisted families forget you and sign elsewhere when their parent declines.
Waitlist erosion, missed move-ins
How Frontdesk Works
Built for multifamily operators on Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan — and every other major PMS.

FAQ
Common questions about AI Senior Living Pre-Leasing Outreach
Frontdesk integrates with Yardi Voyager, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and MRI Software. Here's what multifamily operators ask most.
Contact supportMost leasing platforms aren’t tuned for senior living — they don’t detect adult-child vs. resident, don’t handle level-of-care qualification, and don’t pace voice for elderly callers. Frontdesk does all of these, integrates with Yardi Senior Housing, and writes back bidirectionally to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan.
