Senior Living hospitality operators: Increase savings on Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

The right GPO can help you with all of your FF&E purchasing decisions

While Entegra may be the largest food GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) in the world with over $36 billion in buying power, our reach as a GPO extends beyond food to everything a senior living operator needs, including FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment).

Why FF&E is important

Wear and tear are inevitable. Everything your residents see should align with the high quality your brand represents. Having reliable suppliers readily available — at significant savings — ensures brand consistency and quality remains front and center.

Keeping a senior living PIP (Property Improvement Plan) and capital improvements on budget

With FF&E as one of the largest senior living budget price tags, hospitality operators can’t afford to make poor purchasing decisions. Add fluctuating interest rates into the mix and every purchasing dollar matters. Cost-efficient FF&E is critical to manage tight PIP and CapEx budgets efficiently.

Protecting investments with quality products and suppliers

Built-to-last, quality-made FF&E is crucial for protecting your investment and ensuring positive ROI.

With Entegra’s Local and Direct Savings program, hospitality operators enjoy savings from contracted suppliers and vendors outside of prime distribution, which includes Direct Store Delivery (DSD) from regional- and national-level partners.
