"I used Senior Source Consulting for a project that involved market analysis and a series of various shops. They did a thorough job and went out of their way to turn it around quickly so I could include analysis in my presentation at an important meeting."

Mystery Shops for Senior Living: In-Person, Telephone, Web Inquiry & Events  

​​What Type of Prospect Experience is your Community Delivering?


Customers reach out to your community in a variety of ways: sometimes inquiring through your website; making a direct call; stopping by for a visit after work, or making an appointment in advance.  Are you 100% confident your prospects are having the absolute best experience whichever WAY and whichever DAY they are choosing to inquire? 


Senior Source Consulting Group (SSCG) mystery shop consultants can shed light on the prospect experience so you can be sure.  Our consultants have extensive experience in the industry and are highly trained to dig deep with every shop.  Our clients find our approach to gathering and delivering mystery shop results to be comprehensive and insightful. Best of all, our shops are completely customizable and flexible; just let us know what information you are most interested in gathering and that will become the focus of your project. 


Perhaps you are interested to know if your new sales training program is taking hold? Or if your new model apartment is on point? Or if your new and improved dining program, safety measures, or technology enhancements are being communicated effectively? Senior Source Consulting Group will incorporate your specifications to help you gain a better understanding of the items most important to you.


Our mystery shop reports include feedback about the sales process, value creation, and the trust that is being built. 


Mystery shops can review just your community or add on a mystery shop of your competitors, and our team will provide a SWOT analysis and solid recommendations for ways to leverage your community's strengths, relative to your competitors, to come out ahead. Bright Ideas (immediate action steps) are shared throughout the final report designed to help you improve closing ratios, minimize threats from the competition, and deliver the best possible customer experience in the market.  


Don't spend another day not knowing. Secure objective and actionable data. Let the Senior Source Consulting Group team conduct a series of mystery shops on your behalf today.


"​Senior Source Consulting did a phenomenal job reviewing our sales and marketing associates. They were extremely detailed and provided a nice balance of positive aspects of their tour/visit, as well as areas of opportunity for the community and individual. We found them really wanting to give honest feedback with the intention on helping partner with us to improve and become stronger in the market."

​" Hi Liz and Libby,


Just wanted to sincerely thank both of you for all of your time that you spent with me this morning.   I can honestly say, that was one of the most helpful and enlightening experiences that I have had in my career in senior living.   You really understood the challenges of a new building and understood the senior living industry.   I am always looking to better myself, I would say I will take all the feedback I can and turn it into something positive and a learning opportunity for providing the best care for our seniors here at Fieldstone.


You both are wonderful at what you do.  Just an incredible experience.


 Liz - I look forward to the day you call me about your parents who live in the area.  I actually cannot wait to see you again.


Have a great week ladies."

  • Website Inquiry Mystery Shops - Review response times, personalization, and presentation skills. Client community only or with competitors to determine which community makes it easiest to take the next step. 
  • "Event" Mystery Shops - Events can cost thousands. Are you wondering if ALL opportunities are being capitalized on to capture leads and convert prospects to the next step? An in-person event shop describes the entire prospect experience, from the invitation, to dining and event flow, to follow up and overall value creation. Learn what it takes to gain maximum return on investment. 
  • Sales & Operational Performance In-Person Shops - A comprehensive assessment of the client community (only). Suggestions (Bright Ideas) provide immediate action steps to enhance the prospect experience; learn what it takes to build even greater value and trust.

  • Sales Invigoration - . To maximize your investment, add on a "This is Why it Matters" debrief Zoom session to every in-person mystery shop project for a review of the mystery shop findings with the "shopped" sales associate and the shopper. This step underscores the real and powerful feelings experienced by the shopper to provide each sales associate with an inside glance of the prospect experience resulting in impactful insights that magnifies all other training and coaching and reinvigorates the participant. 

​"We have engaged Senior Source Consulting Group to shop several of our communities in order to provide feedback on everything from first impressions to the overall sales process.  SSCGs reports are thorough and full of critical information needed to deliver results.  Based on a recent report, one of our communities was able to implement positive changes that resulted in a move from 78% occupancy to 94% occupancy over a period of just a few months.  SSCG brings years of experience and a genuine understanding of the seniors housing industry to the table with each report.
