Savings

Some of the best vendor pricing by leveraging the purchasing volume of senior living communities across the country.

“I thought we had the best pricing available. But Value First conducted a cost study and this year will be the first time that we will see a decrease in our food costs by utilizing the Value First contracts. Value First is really worth checking into.” – Dan Goodier, Executive Director

“We have been so pleased that we get the same high quality service at lower costs with Value First.” – Donna Bremiller, Vice President of Operations & COO

“With Value First, we estimate a savings if $50K per year in food purchases and $6k per year in medical supplies. While continuing to purchase from the same vendors that we currently use!” – Al Griffin, CFO
