Dayspring Villa: A Focus on Culture Made All the Difference

We were approached by Mercy Housing for a potential management agreement for Dayspring Villa, an assisted living community in Northwest Denver. Because Mercy Housing did not have experience in assisted living, they opted instead to affiliate with CLC-Cappella for the operations of Dayspring Villa while still retaining ownership of the property.

CLC-Cappella remained flexible during the negotiations and welcomed Dayspring Villa as a neighborhood of Christian Living Communities in early 2016.

Status at Affiliation

  • Experiencing low occupancy
  • Low morale for residents and associates
  • Previous management efforts were lacking in strategic insight and attention to building community culture

CLC-Cappella began to first work on establishing systems, culture, removing existing outside agency, and right-sizing the payer mix. As shown above, just one year after become affiliated with CLC-Cappella, Dayspring is a vibrant, empowered, and well-functioning community.

Bella Vita: Changing its Trajectory

Bella Vita is an active adult apartment community located in the heart of Aurora, Colorado. Two years after opening, the community had not reached stabilized occupancy and was experiencing financial challenges. Under Cappella’s leadership the community reached 100% occupancy and had a 29% improvement in net operating margin in less than one year. That was more than five years ago, and the community continues to thrive!
