I have known and worked with Marla since she first entered the field of aging. She immediately showed a propensity and understanding of the elderly. Over the years she has proven her selfless dedication in the industry as well as the non-profit world. Her knowledge was vital in developing a project for us while I was Commissioner. Her passion and expertise helping Casa Central has been invaluable. Without reservation I would recommend her company to any elder care or any organization needing marketing assistance

Marla has made our facilities an enormous success through her keen understanding of the senior housing market, and her organizational ability, follow through, persistence and relationship skills. Her remarkable insight of eldercare marketing has helped us package or "re-package" many of the programs and philosophies we've always had. She capitalizes on our strengths and counsels our weaknesses.

We have repeatedly used the services of Focus on Aging to help us establish long-term relationships which lead to increased referrals, census gain and a boost to our bottom line. Their professionalism and attention to detail is a major reason we continue using them for both short and long term marketing projects. We also have used and recommend Focus on Aging for recruiting projects as they always find the perfect candidates. They use their connections, excellent networking and relationship marketing skills when recruiting.

Marla showed me how effective social media marketing could be. Based on her research, I took the plunge. Focus developed a social media plan and proved that putting my reputation in Marla’s hands was the best decision I made. Focus implemented my plan and minimized the amount of work on my end, all at a reasonable cost. I obtained new clients, which I contribute to Marla’s hard work and marketing expertise.

I hired Marla to be my marketing coach. She was very helpful and always kept me on task; she gently reminded me of important things to follow up on and provided me with amazing contacts all who were invaluable to me in order to grow my practice. Marla is extremely professional, provides personal service, and is a marketing maven!
