Case Study: How Arrow Senior Living Transformed Their Competitive Pricing Process with Further’s Pricing Assistant

Introduction

Founded in 2009 out of Turnaround Solutions’ mission to transform struggling senior communities, Arrow Senior Living has grown into a people-first organization with more than 43 communities across six states, ranking as the 26th largest senior living operator in the US. Known for setting the standard in dignified, compassionate care, Arrow has always focused on revitalizing communities and fostering strong employee morale—guided by the simple question, “How would we want to be treated?”

But as the organization continued to grow, Arrow recognized that its pricing strategy hadn’t kept pace. Pricing in senior living is both an art and a science—balancing competitiveness, value, and financial sustainability—and Arrow saw an opportunity to approach it with the same thoughtfulness it brings to community care. In late 2024, Arrow partnered with Further to reimagine its pricing approach across all communities.

By implementing Further’s Pricing Assistant platform, the organization reduced the time required for competitive market analysis by 50%, strengthened team collaboration, and unlocked data-driven insights that contributed to an increase of roughly 200 occupied units.

Since partnering with Further, we’ve seen an increase of approximately 200 occupied units across our communities and strongly believe that the insights gained through Further’s data have played a meaningful role in this positive trend.

The Challenge: The Agonizing Work of Pricing Analysis

Before Pricing Assistant, Arrow Senior Living’s quarterly pricing process was slow, inconsistent, and siloed. Collecting and analyzing competitive data across communities often took months, delaying decisions and limiting strategic agility. Leadership recognized the need for a unified, data-driven approach that could speed up reviews, improve consistency, and bring frontline teams into the pricing conversation.

The Solution: Further’s Pricing Assistant

Arrow Senior Living implemented Further’s Pricing Assistant platform in Q4 of 2024. The technology supports three core functions that have transformed Arrow’s quarterly pricing workflow:

  • Comprehensive Competitive Market Analysis – Standardized shops of the top five competitors per community.
  • Automated Data Aggregation – Intelligence compiled into an interactive dashboard for easy consumption.
  • Collaborative Budget Review – Data-driven insights fueling quarterly discussions between leadership and onsite teams.

The system provides continuous monitoring of competitor incentives and promotions, tracks historical rate trends, and analyzes online sentiment across both your communities and competitors to create a complete picture of the market environment.
