SeniorCRE is the operator-controlled operating infrastructure for senior housing & care. It is designed to govern definitions, source authority, reconciliation, and lineage across the systems an operator already runs, and can carry selected system-of-record functions where the operator chooses. Govern first. Replace only by choice.

How is SeniorCRE different from PointClickCare?

PointClickCare is a clinical EHR. Operators can keep PointClickCare; SeniorCRE is designed to govern definitions and source authority above it. Where an operator chooses, SeniorCRE can assume selected system-of-record functions. Govern first. Replace only by choice.

How is SeniorCRE different from Yardi Senior Living Suite?

Yardi Senior Living Suite is a property-management and accounting system. Operators can keep Yardi Senior Living Suite; SeniorCRE is designed to govern definitions and source authority above it. Where an operator chooses, SeniorCRE can assume selected system-of-record functions. Govern first. Replace only by choice.

How is SeniorCRE different from MatrixCare or ALIS?

MatrixCare or ALIS is a clinical and community-management system. Operators can keep MatrixCare or ALIS; SeniorCRE is designed to govern definitions and source authority above it. Where an operator chooses, SeniorCRE can assume selected system-of-record functions. Govern first. Replace only by choice.

How does SeniorCRE approach HIPAA and security?

SeniorCRE signs Business Associate Agreements and is designed with the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards applicable to its role under HIPAA. SOC 2 attestation planned.

Who is SeniorCRE for?

Senior housing & care operators, REITs, and capital partners. Our operator beachhead is organizations running 10 to 40 communities; larger portfolios are served through a separate Strategic Enterprise engagement.

How much does SeniorCRE cost?

Pricing and implementation fees are set in the applicable order form.

How long does SeniorCRE take to implement?

Deployment is gate-based and operator-specific; SeniorCRE publishes no standard implementation duration.

SeniorCRE is the operator-controlled operating infrastructure for senior housing & care.

Fragmentation is the antagonist; the operator governs what counts as truth.

Alternatives guide · Editorial update October 9, 2026

Yardi alternatives for senior housing & care operators

A Yardi® alternative depends on what you need to change. For property management, accounting or billing, compare a replacement suite against that workflow. For clinical needs, compare setting-specific EHR/eMAR products—including Yardi’s own advertised clinical modules—rather than assuming Yardi is accounting only. If trusted Yardi, clinical and payroll outputs disagree, evaluate governance above the retained systems instead of an unnecessary migration.

Author: John Hauber, Founder & CEO. Product statements describe advertised vendor scope and SeniorCRE pre-production requirements, not independent clinical validation.

Compare the workflow, not just the feature list

Editorial and maturity wording updated October 9, 2026. Comparative source cut-off: September 2026; this update does not establish new vendor evidence. Incumbent product descriptions and SeniorCRE’s pre-production design are not equivalent readiness. Verify licensed modules, care-setting fit and implementation evidence directly.

Six comparison dimensions. SeniorCRE medication administration/eMAR is roadmap — not built, not a currently available replacement.
Decision dimension	Yardi® — advertised product scope	SeniorCRE — pre-production
Clinical depth	Public materials describe senior housing clinical, resident care, and eMAR modules inside the broader suite; buyers should verify care-setting depth by module and contract scope.	Clinical system-of-record configuration is design intent; medication administration and eMAR remain roadmap — not built. Operator choice requires completed build, clinical-safety, workflow-validation and acceptance gates.
Property / accounting	Strongest fit in this group for property management, billing, lease, and accounting workflows where the portfolio is already standardized on Yardi.	Financial governance across retained ledger, billing and period-close records is design intent, not an implemented operating record. Any selected SeniorCRE system-of-record function requires separate scope and acceptance gates.
Cross-system governance	Connected-platform strategy is credible inside the Yardi estate; operator-controlled arbitration across external EHR, payroll, CRM, and capital systems should be verified in scope.	The Operator-Controlled Operating Record is designed and not yet implemented in any community. Authority rules, reconciliation, and field-level lineage are design intent; synthetic examples do not establish working governance.
Portfolio rollups	Strong portfolio reporting where source systems live inside the Yardi footprint; external-system reconciliation should be tested before relying on rollups.	Designed for community, region, division, entity, and owner rollups on operator-approved definitions; production use is gate-based and not yet proven by an operator deployment.
Data lineage	System and report lineage should be evaluated inside the Yardi estate and across any external source that feeds the portfolio view.	Lineage is a first-class design requirement: source system, timestamp, definition, authority rule, reconciliation state, accepted value, and preserved alternative.
Deployment configuration	Best when the operator wants a property/accounting-centered suite or already runs Yardi; coexistence with external systems depends on licensed modules and integration terms.	Two designed roads: governance above retained systems, or selected SeniorCRE systems of record by operator choice. Neither is an operator-production deployment; timing and scope depend on function-specific gates.

Start with the shared portfolio-selection requirements

For 10+ communities, apply one matrix to every vendor: retained systems, data authority, entity hierarchy, acquisition onboarding, integration dependencies and deployment evidence. This guide retains its specific buyer question; the shared requirements live in the deployment hub. SeniorCRE remains pre-production, not a proven portfolio rollout.

Open the portfolio-selection matrix: keep, govern or replace

Replacement: change the property, billing or clinical workflow

Evaluate a replacement for Yardi® when the existing workflow no longer meets a documented requirement—not just because reports disagree. Compare current products against the work staff must perform and the exact licensed modules. Selecting SeniorCRE as a system of record is a separate, operator-chosen, gated evaluation.

Prerequisites: Inventory records, exports, retention duties, interfaces, configuration, staff training, downtime procedures and rollback. Name the receiving system and the owner of each field before migration.
Evidence status and acceptance: Established vendors: require a setting-specific demonstration, contracted module scope and relevant customer references. SeniorCRE: pre-production; selected functions must pass build, safety, security, workflow-validation and operator-acceptance gates. eMAR remains roadmap, not built.
Care-setting fit: For IL, test resident billing, service charges and occupancy; for AL/MC, assessments, care plans, medication workflow and state requirements; for SNF, require MDS, reimbursement, orders and transitions-of-care evidence. Mixed portfolios need each setting validated separately.

Coexistence: retain Yardi® and add a bounded function

Retain Yardi® for the functions it performs well and evaluate another product for a specifically missing workflow. Sharing or exporting data is coexistence; it does not by itself establish who governs a contested decision. Do not mistake a marketplace listing for a working interface in your configuration.

Prerequisites: Specify authorized reads and writes, identity matching, source freshness, failure handling, revocation, support ownership and export rights. In a parallel clinical configuration, the designed SeniorCRE path reads one direction only and never writes the incumbent MAR.
Evidence status and acceptance: Require an actual interface test, licensed access and an acceptance record for your source version. SeniorCRE named-vendor connectors remain roadmap; an operator-supplied sample is evaluation material, not evidence of a working production connection.
Care-setting fit: Fits IL/AL/MC/SNF when a trusted core workflow should stay and a separate function has a clear owner. One authoritative medication record per community is required; no dual writable MARs.

Governance above retained systems: settle the accountable decision

Keep Yardi® and the other systems when they meet their domain requirements but disagree about census, labor, revenue or occupancy used in an accountable decision. First check definitions, dates, denominators and existing configuration. Evaluate operator-controlled governance only when those fixes are insufficient.

Prerequisites: Name one decision owner and purpose; declare definitions, effective periods and source authority. Implement reconciliation, preserve alternate assertions and trace the accepted determination back to source records. Missing authority must remain unresolved, not become an AI-selected winner.
Evidence status and acceptance: SeniorCRE governance is design intent, pre-production. Require a bounded source-to-decision test, refusal/escalation tests, security review and written operator acceptance before relying on an output. Agree a baseline before any time-saving, financial or clinical claim.
Care-setting fit: Relevant across care settings when decisions cross independently authoritative systems—not automatically because a portfolio has 10+ communities. For SNF, preserve clinical/MDS authority; for AL/MC/IL, keep resident, unit and billable census distinct. Cross-operator sharing requires each operator’s consent.

Product status. SeniorCRE capability descriptions on this page reflect design intent and built work, not live operator production use. No third-party integration is live in operator production today. Founding Operator deployment dates are not yet scheduled and remain to be determined. Nothing here should be read as a representation that a described capability is generally available, contracted, or independently attested.

This page. SeniorCRE capability descriptions are pre-production and subject to function-specific operator acceptance; no vendor connector or performance result is implied.

Competitor sourcing (as of October 9, 2026). Statements about third-party products are based solely on publicly available product materials and vendor documentation as of the date shown, are not exhaustive of those products’ capabilities, and may not reflect current releases, roadmaps, or customer-specific configurations. Where this page indicates that a capability is not described for a competing product, that means it was not advertised as a native capability in publicly available product materials as of that date — not that the product cannot do it.
