Argentum, the voice for America’s profes- sionally managed senior living communi- ties, has entered into an agreement with NIC MAP Vision to make the data analytics group an Official Data and Insights Partner of Argentum. NIC MAP Vision will pro- vide Argentum access to data, tools, and services to assist with key industry impera- tives recently outlined in the trade group’s strategic vision for senior living.
