Country Place Living Launches Refer-A-Friend Program

IRVING, Texas – March 11, 2009 – Country Place Living, a manager and franchisor of assisted-living residences for seniors in rural America, has launched a Refer-A-Friend program offering discounts for referred friends and family members.

The Refer-A-Friend special began March 1 and runs until June 1, offered in most Country Place Living locations. During this time, any resident of Country Place Living who refers a family member or friend to become either an Adult Day resident or full-time resident of Country Place Living receives an in-house credit of $500 for a full-time resident or $25 for an Adult Day resident. The credit is given to the resident who referred a friend or family member and to the new resident.

Adult Day Services, held at most Country Place Living residences, provide seniors a place to visit during the day. Seniors can socialize with peers, participate in activities, eat healthy meals and receive needed medication. This also offers care-givers a break from what can be a full-time responsibility of caring for an aging loved one.

“Our residents are often the strongest voice and advocate for our services,” said Cynthia Gartman, president and COO of Country Place Living. “We work hard to provide residents with the highest quality of senior care and are excited to broaden our reach in the communities we serve by offering this special discount with the Refer-A-Friend program.”

The program also extends to non-residents who are friends or family members of a resident and refer someone to Country Place Living. The in-house credit will be applied to the current resident of the friend or family member.

Founded in 2003, Country Place Living has redefined senior living in rural America with uniquely designed assisted-living residences that offer the best amenities and forward-thinking vision for a growing population. The company offers two concepts for franchising: Country Place Senior Living, an 18-apartment assisted living residence, and Country Place Home Plus, an 8-bedroom group home residence.

A member of the International Franchise Association (IFA), Country Place Living plans to expand to more than 400 locations nationwide. Country Place Living has corporate-owned locations throughout Kansas, and is currently selling franchises in rural communities in most states.
