Established to operate a curated portfolio of senior living communities in the Midwest, LakeHouse Senior Living represents the latest regional management company and brand for Discovery Senior Living.

Discovery Senior Living (“Discovery”) is excited to introduce its latest regional management company, LakeHouse Senior Living (“LakeHouse”). The creation of the company further diversifies Discovery’s growing, multi-brand portfolio and establishes a stronghold in the Midwest surrounding the Great Lakes. It also marks another milestone in Discovery’s growing regional management company structure, aimed at providing exceptional senior living experiences to a local audience. LakeHouse Senior Living will focus on operating communities in northern Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, western Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, catering to the unique preferences and needs of seniors in this region.

Discovery executed the launch of LakeHouse Senior Living with the commencement of management of numerous new communities, as well as the assimilation of an existing portfolio of communities currently being operated by Discovery in the region.   

As one of the operating company subsidiaries of Discovery Senior Living, LakeHouse will operate as a local management company with a full management team and will benefit from the robust support services provided by the Discovery Operational Support Center located at the company’s Florida headquarters.

Further bolstering its executive leadership team, Brad Poterack has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of the new LakeHouse management company. Poterack brings to the Discovery enterprise more than 25 years of experience as a solution-minded leader with proven success across two dynamic industries. He previously worked in a senior management role at Macy’s and most recently served as Senior Vice President, Operations for Enlivant, assisted living communities, a post he occupied since 2019.

We are excited to introduce LakeHouse Senior Living as our newest regional management company and brand,” said Richard J. Hutchinson, CEO of Discovery Senior Living. “This addition represents the continuation in our multi-year strategic efforts to marry the best of customized local community management with the support of a robust and sophisticated business process curated at the parent company level. We are also very excited to have Brad join our executive team and look forward to working with him to learn from his experience, both within and outside of the seniors housing industry, to create tailored senior living solutions for our valued customers.”

PrivateAuto Streamlines Peer-to-Peer Car Sales With New ‘DealNow’ Feature

PrivateAuto, the transactional marketplace for private-party auto sales, announced today the launch of its new DealNow feature for fast-track vehicle transactions.  

DealNow allows buyers and sellers who have found each other through other means to utilize PrivateAuto’s suite of transactional tools to securely and seamlessly complete the sale.

Sellers can bypass the listing process and invite a buyer to “DealNow” on PrivateAuto to take advantage of the platform’s robust transactional capabilities. Similarly, a buyer can invite a seller to DealNow.

DealNow is ideal for buyers and sellers who meet on other platforms such as Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, which lack transactional infrastructure and safeguards.

“With DealNow, we’re giving buyers and sellers the best of both worlds: the ability to connect on their own terms combined with our robust transactional infrastructure to get the deal done,” said PrivateAuto CEO Brad Parker. “If you’ve already found your next car or found a buyer for your current vehicle, you can skip the marketplace and go straight to our seamless checkout flow. DealNow takes out the friction associated with private-party sales so car buyers and sellers can get the deal done safely and conveniently.”

DealNow equips users with PrivateAuto’s full suite of tools to facilitate and safeguard transactions, including integrated financing, scheduling, inspections, escrow-like safeguards, insurance, instant digital payments (with no transaction fees), electronic bill-of-sale signing, and vehicle-transport coordination. 

Buyers and sellers initiate the DealNow process by inviting the other party, then proceed through PrivateAuto’s fast-track workflow to schedule the test drive, electronically sign the bill of sale, and transfer funds. For the latter, PrivateAuto Pay’s $1 million instant transfer capability works 24/7/365 and is fee-free.

“For too long, peer-to-peer vehicle sales have been an inefficient hassle,” added Parker. “With DealNow, we’ve created the first truly streamlined end-to-end solution tailored specifically for direct buyer-seller connections. It removes the risks and headaches traditionally associated with private-party sales. We’re excited to be pioneering fast, secure and seamless transactions.”

The DealNow feature is available starting today for PrivateAuto users across the United States. For more information, visit https://privateauto.com/dealnow.
