What Sets ALIS Apart

Celebrating 20 Years ALIS

20 years and counting

ALIS stands out as one of the most innovative and user-friendly software solutions in the assisted living industry. Launched after extensive market research, ALIS was designed to address the specific challenges faced by senior living communities.

At a time when only 10% of assisted living communities used software for operations (2005), ALIS emerged as a game-changer, offering integrated, web-based tools tailored to meet the needs of the industry. This focus on solving real-world problems has remained at the core of ALIS, setting it apart from other options in the market.

For the last 20 years, ALIS has adapted time and time again to the real-world needs portfolios have faced, and continues to ensure you’ll be ready for what’s next – no matter what it is.

The meaning behind our logo

The butterfly represents metamorphosis and change. The assisted living industry continues to go through significant changes as it transitions from a real estate-based model to a more resident-centric model that relies more than ever on the quality of care delivery and staff retention. 

ALIS is an agent of change for assisted living, memory care, and independent living communities, helping them make this transition. Progressive, person-centered senior living portfolios partner with ALIS to navigate the industry change together. The butterfly illuminates all of the characteristics of ALIS that support healthy change; it is intuitive, energetic, and optimistic.
