Focuses on modifying operations to increase profitability at an upscale senior care facility in California. Jennifer Raiser, President of Raiser Senior Services, opened The Stratford in 1992 as a high-end, continuing-care retirement community. Ten years later, The Stratford was known as one of the most prestigious senior care communities in the Bay Area, but management struggled to keep the facility from losing money each year.

As a result, the team needed to find ways to take costs out of running the business.
