SMARTPricing: A Senior Living Cost Estimator Tool

Clarity before the call. Confidence before the tour. 

SMARTPricing is a guided pricing and financial qualification experience that helps senior living operators generate better-qualified leads, align sales and marketing, and convert more tours into move-ins. 

Senior Living Has a Lead Qualification Problem 

Inquiry volume is high, but too many leads stall or drop out once real pricing enters the conversation.

Why this happens:

  • Most communities only publish “starting at” rates
  • Additional costs for care, medication management, and fees come as a surprise
  • Sales teams are forced to explain affordability too late
  • Marketing worries transparency will hurt conversion
  • Investors want shorter sales cycles and better efficiency

The result: Unqualified leads, longer paths to move-in, and frustrated families.

SMARTPricing is Your Lead Qualifying Solution 

SMARTPricing is a sales enablement and financial qualification tool designed for how families actually shop for senior living today.

Instead of hiding pricing (or oversimplifying it) SMARTPricing guides prospects through a personalized experience that helps them understand the true cost of residency before they ever speak with sales.

Families gain clarity, sales gets better conversations, and marketing delivers higher-quality demand.

How SMARTPricing Works 

Step 1: Select lifestyle or level of care - Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care

Step 2: Choose additional care needs - Light, moderate, or higher levels of support

Step 3: Select apartment style - Studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, etc.

Step 4: Choose medication management level

Step 5: Indicate number of occupants

Step 6: Share urgency and timeframe

Step 7: Receive a personalized pricing report

Each step is educational, respectful, and designed to set realistic expectations without overwhelming or pushing prospects away.

Revealing a Personalized Senior Living Cost Estimate 

After completing the experience, prospects receive a personalized pricing estimate that explains: 

  • Their estimated monthly cost range
  • What’s included in the price (meals, utilities, housekeeping, transportation, activities, and more)
  • How care levels impact cost
  • Important disclaimers (estimate vs. final pricing after assessment)

Communities maintain full control over:

  • Pricing logic and ranges
  • Messaging around private pay and funding
  • Disclaimers and educational content

From the pricing report, prospects choose their next step:

  • Schedule a tour or call which marks them as a Sales-Qualified Lead
  • Download a brochure or funding guide that will enroll them in an educational nurture workflow
  • Continue learning which allows them to self-advance when ready

SMARTPricing integrates directly with HubSpot, allowing you to:

  • Deliver full pricing context to sales before the first call
  • Nurture financially uncertain prospects with education and resources
  • Let unqualified leads self-select out, and in turn, saving your team time
