When you go to a large facility, the typical response time is over 90 minutes.

that is a huge difference, right?

That could be, if you fell and got a brain bleed, that could be the difference between life and death.

But if you're paying the same as a senior living in those homes, you want to get the care.

So an RAL becomes a much better option for the senior to

and the family members and the caregivers, because they can actually do the job that they're getting paid to do versus a big community.

You know, I think, though, it's great that you're talking about this because a lot of people do want to go bigger, right?

So yes, the money, the staffing, the this, the that, but also the senior and the care, which is what it should be about at the end of the day.

And then they say, well, why can't I?

Why shouldn't I?

And they understand the institution.

They understand the expenses.

But there's really this whole other piece of it, which I call the heart part of it, right?

In a traditional big box facility, you'll have 30 seniors to one caregiver.

In an RAL, you might have four to one or five to one.

So if you fall and break your hip and press your call button, you're getting a response in 90 seconds, right?

When you go to a large facility, the typical response time is over 90 minutes.
