SAMPLE PERSONAS FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY VICKI |

ADULT CHILD, 48

Vicki’s parents, Ada and Ben, both 73, still live in the same family home they have owned for the last thirty years. When Vicki noticed her parents missing mortgage payments and neglecting their beloved garden, she wondered if maintaining their beloved home has become more of a burden than a source of pride. She knows that her parents will be reluctant to discuss selling the house and moving to a “nursing home,” but with her mother beginning to struggle with memory loss and her father’s strict medication regimen, she worries that something might happen to them if they stay in their home.

HOW TO REACH VICKI »» Give her the tools she needs to prepare for this difficult conversation with her parents »» Show her that Senior Living communities can be active, vibrant, and supportive

SAMPLE FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY »» Remind her that she is not alone and that she is making the right decision

DANIEL |

ACTIVE SENIOR, 68

Daniel has lived on his own for the last year since his wife, Elana, passed away. Their eldest son, Rick, lives in St. Augustine, Florida, and has asked his dad to sell his current home in Scottsdale, Arizona, and move into their guest room so he can be near family. While Daniel likes the idea of living closer to his son and grandkids, he doesn’t want to burden them or sacrifice his private time and space. He’s started searching for an apartment in the St. Augustine area, ideally one with residents closer to his age than his granddaughter’s, and has been warming up to the idea of an Independent Living community - especially one of the nice ones on the beach.

HOW TO REACH DANIEL »» Show him a community with active, healthy seniors living fully and on their own terms »» He loves the beach, so make sure to highlight that as a lifestyle element

SAMPLE FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY »» Provide helpful financial-planning resources and real-time pricing

CAREER SEEKER 31

Stephanie has been working in the administrative department of a local hospital for the last six years. She started at the reception desk in the maternity ward and has worked her way up to become assistant to the hospital administrator. While she has thoroughly enjoyed her time at the hospital, and has learned so much about healthcare administration, but she is ready for a new challenge. She knows she wants to work closer to patients, but isn’t interested in returning to school to pursue a nursing degree. She’s been casually searching online job listings and is beginning to look into jobs at senior living communities in the area.

❸ There is way too much

competing above the fold. Too many paths for user to take, diluting user's ability to make a decision. One major item missing at the top of the page - a clear call to action.

❹ Heavy text is not broken up into contextually relevant, easyto-digest pieces.

❺ News widget and social icons are not styled to be cohesive with the rest of the site design.

❻ It's an outdated website design—the color palette, use of gradients, lack of user flow and visual hierarchy do not follow industry best practices.

❼ Lack of responisve design

RECOMMENDED WEBSITE NAVIGATION

SAMPLE FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Navigation Best Practices

When creating your website’s navigation, it is important to clearly label and prioritize the pages which are crucial to the conversion funnel. Since most users on average engage with less than 3 pages, we want to see the interaction pattern of navigation items to flow from left to right to indicate the information most important to the user is prioritized in a logical and obvious order. We will recommend clearly labeled, highly trafficked pages accordingly. By presenting content in the manner which has been proven most effective for user engagement, you can guide the customer through the conversation funnel in a way that is both intuitive and compelling.
