Primary Selling Features
Brand Name - The company is well-known in the communities it serves for having a variety of
high quality amenities, although the brand is becoming a bit dated.
Leadership Team - The top leadership are siblings and the grandchildren of the founder. Lavish
Living points out that that top management can be regularly seen around the properties and know
many of the residents.

comprised of doctors, nurses, and physician assistants who provide 24-hour access to care.
Integrated Care Community - The medical staff, nutritionists, and other care providers have a
strong collaborative culture. This includes regular all staff meetings to discuss any patient issues
where all opinions are welcome.

providers, Lavish Living offers walking trails to provide ample opportunity to maintain healthy
habits.
Dining Rooms - Every location has large dining rooms with table-side service as well as a buffet
option.
Locations - All 12 locations are centrally located. While not typically important for fully
contained senior living communities, Lavish Living highlights how this makes it easier for
family members to visit.
QUESTION: if we follow the VRIO framework, where do you think the resource of the
integrated care community falls currently?
A) Rare but easily imitated
B) Potentially hard to imitate
C) Valuable but not rare.
