Monthly Marketing Update- November 2025

Last month we celebrated Case Management Week and more than 200 providers from Everett, WA to Medford, OR helped deliver goodies as a thank you to case managers at 27 hospitals. We continue to hear from many managers about how appreciative their staff was and how much it meant that providers took the time to express their gratitude and recognize their hard work.

Sponsors, save the date for the Retirement Connection Sponsor Breakfast on November 11!

November 11
, 8:30-10 am
Location: Merrill Gardens at Cedar Mill

Enjoy a delicious breakfast, network with 70+ peers, hear updates on hospital and case manager relationships, and learn how to make the most of your sponsor benefits. Supporting staff are encouraged to attend.

We are in the final 2 weeks of wrapping up ad space for the next annual guide. All ad approvals have been sent, we are calling to confirm all comparison grid details, and phoning all listings in the guide to make necessary edits. If you know of any changes, please let us know asap. We also appreciate any referrals to help us grow the guide and you; I'd love to include a few more sponsors.

We’re excited to announce that updates to improve your provider dashboard are now live!

You can now make bulk edits to your listings with greater ease- saving time and simplifying the process of keeping your information up to date. This upgrade is especially beneficial for providers managing multiple listings, making it faster and more efficient to update all your locations at once.

Additionally, you can now access detailed stats for your communities, giving you valuable insights to track engagement and performance. From your dashboard, you can view analytics showing how many visitors you’ve had, how often your mobile call button has been used, and how many link clicks your listings have received.

We’ve also introduced a new chatbot feature to help families get answers to their questions quickly and easily. This tool enhances the user experience by providing instant support and ensuring families can connect with the right information about your communities.

Contact support@careavailability.com if you have any questions about optimizing your listing.

"I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it." ~ Maya Angelou

Some events change our path in life. We do not need to yield to struggles, mistakes or even temporary failures. We choose how we react. Be resolute, and remain committed to who you are amidst struggles-  but  learn from it. Never let outside events reduce or diminish us as a person.
