Yardi, headquartered in Santa Barbara, offers a suite of property management applications, including Yardi Senior Living, with property management features but also assisted living features like eMAR, and EHR.
MatrixCare is well suited for the size of this company and its budget. The support is awesome, very professional, polite and knows what they're doing. It is also well suited for my company based on the type of healthcare, LTC, and rehab. Although I don't use the MDS features, I hear my colleagues say how much they like using them. The providers like that they are able to create their progress notes right into Matrix and I like that too because there are no paper notes needing to scan. The providers also find the dashboard very helpful for knowing what orders need to be signed and which patients are due for visits. I am unaware of any scenarios where MatrixCare is not well suited for my company, as far as my role.
Any senior living/retirement home would likely benefit by using Yardi Senior Living suite. The fact that it handles the needs of almost the entire business makes it a very convenient platform for operating retirement residences.
Yardi does have a tendency to release new features a bit early. I understand the drive to deliver what customers are asking for, but in some cases, further testing before release would be beneficial.
Yardi used to allow clients to have access to a remote desktop, which came in very handy to maintain the environment and develop new reports. They replaced this with web based tools that don't work as well.
Yardi does not handle any time sheet or payroll functions. It's the main shortcoming for our needs. As a result we have leveraged other software for this.
I have not had any problems with MatrixCare; however, I do not use the whole system and have not had to call MatrixCare or have support from them so I'm not the best to comment on that.
MatrixCare is being used as it was already implemented with the branch of business that was acquire, but, MatrixCare does the best out of all of our different clinical based systems
I haven't used it PointClickCare directly, but I'm told by others in the industry that it's more suited to Long Term Care. Yardi Senior Living works better for retirement residences with assisted and independent living.
I'm hard-pressed to speak on behalf of the entire company, which consists of seven locations and I'm just the Health Information Manager. As far as my daily objectives, one positive impact is I no longer need a full-time assistant.
Another positive impact is the reduction of paper. Since I started here, there have been no paper records. MatrixCare provides a well-organized chart that is is easy to navigate through.
A third positive impact is related to the reduction of paper, ROI (Release of Information). MatrixCare provides records in a PDF format, which most receiving entities and individuals require.
