Closing Out February

We finished the month of February with 5 net move-ins against a goal of 4. That raised our occupancy level to 77% and is a major step toward achieving our goal of 90% - 95%. With a starting rate of 67%, we are definitely on the right track.

The month of March offers a different challenge as we have a couple move-outs scheduled and we would need a new move-in for each of those just to stay even. Right now, we have an assigned goal of 4 more new residents, but we will need at least 6 to achieve that goal. Our target for March is to finish the month at 80% occupancy. Enough of that for now.

We were suppose to get off at 3 PM yesterday but didn't make it until 4 PM. We are the host community today for our conference call at 9:30 AM, so we were asked to come in 1 1/2 hours earlier today to be on that call. It is always a challenge to stick to our work schedule, and we always seem to end up working many more hours than scheduled. We were told about that before we started, so there's no surprise there. You do what you have to do. The free time becomes more precious these days.

Today starts our marathon stretch which takes us to 7 AM on Sunday morning before we see the next scheduled (totally) free time. There are a few events on the schedule this weekend that may or may not require some of our free time on Sunday, so we are holding our breath on that one...
