Pros

Integral Senior Living is a company that has built a highly respected reputation for turning around struggling communities within an industry that can be described as complicated at best. From its inception, ISL tossed out the quotas and micromanagement behaviors long associated with senior living and went on to create a culture that is simply unparalleled. I was fortunate to serve as Director of Sales and Marketing for over six years at one of the communities they manage and there was not any point that I felt any pressure to do anything other than what was best for the residents and the families I was working with. From day one (with census under 80%), ISL gave me the respect and anonymity to build my department (and census.) Within a few months, we had census up 20% and we went on to average 97.5% annually for several more years. This wasn’t a fluke and could only have been done by working together within an environment based on integrity and trust. Over my years there, I developed fantastic working relationships with my competitors and found this approach is rarely offered. It’s a shame. ISLs competitors could learn something from their approach. Had I not chosen to change industries, I would have been proud to continue my relationship with ISL. And, if I owned a community and was in need of a management company, they would definitely be my first call.

Cons

The only thing I can think of, off the top of my head, is that there could be a more streamlined approach to budgeting (prior to submission to ISL and the owners.) From what I understand, in some communities the department heads are involved in fiscal planning. In others, it was unilaterally drafted by the ED.

Thank you for taking the time to offer a review & we do take this "advice to management" very seriously. I am hoping while you were employed here you had the opportunity to express these concerns raised to a member of the HR team and ISL management, as we would like to make sure these issues were addressed. If you would reach out to me directly, mwoodward@islllc.com I would like to put you in touch with someone at the ISL management level so we can learn more about these issues and address them as soon as possible. Thank you

Pros

Working with older adults is a very rewarding experience

Cons

Not delivering on promises made to residents when the change over from Holiday occurred. Hiring unqualified community managers (ED's) to execute the changes SSL wants made. ISL/SSL is losing residents in all independent living communities that were taken over from Holiday Retirement. The only saving grace for the company are their AL communities, which are actually ISL managed properties.
