A One-of-a-Kind Senior Living Community’s Secret to a Strong Online Reputation

Elmhurst House Of Friendship has managed to build the kind of reputation any business owner would envy, and to learn a little more about that reputation and this one-of-a-kind business, we sat down with Director of Marketing Marilyn Mull.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Elmhurst House Of Friendship unique compared to the many other senior living communities in West Virginia. Marilyn told us that, this year, they are celebrating their 130th year in business and said:

“I think that the personal attention we provide every resident is critical. Family members want to know that they are safe and secure. We also encourage residents to enjoy life to the fullest.”

When we asked what the secret is to such a solid online reputation at Elmhurst House Of Friendship, Marilyn pointed to the quality of their product and said that the care they provide for their residents is top-notch.

Making the World a Better Place by Enriching the Lives of Their Residents

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Elmhurst House Of Friendship and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Marilyn had to say:

“Our mission is to provide the finest affordable living for older folks as an assisted living residence. We maintain a quality of care and lifestyle that enriches the older adults who call us home.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Elmhurst House Of Friendship has grown with the help of their residents and their families:

“Our best marketers are our residents and their families. The word of mouth we’ve received over the years has been one of our strongest assets.”

It’s clear that Marilyn knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. When we asked what advice she has for the many other business owners out there, she told us that every business is unique and emphasized the importance of playing up what makes each business one of a kind.
