Ardent Senior Living Sells Rochester ALP Community

Ardent Senior Living Sells Rochester ALP Community

Seven years after acquiring an assisted living/independent living community in Rochester, New York, Ardent Senior Living is selling the property to a New York-based owner/operator. Originally built in 1974, the community features 115 assisted living units (with 200 licensed beds) and a 42-unit independent living building. The campus participates in New York’s Assisted Living Program (ALP), which provides a higher level of care (close to skilled nursing) in an assisted living setting for Medicaid residents.   It’s a win for the state, which can reimburse nearly skilled nursing level care at a lower rate, and for the providers, which can take in Medicaid residents at a...

A True Success Story in Oregon

A True Success Story in Oregon

About 35 years ago, an Ivy League educated pioneer decided to buy a senior living community. His friends and family thought he was nuts. In 1985, after all, it wasn’t exactly the industry where aspiring entrepreneurs went to seek their fame and fortune. So, one Shelly Smith and a financial partner bought a relatively new retirement community that only had independent living at the time, as “assisted living” was not yet in the industry vernacular.   Located in Salem, Oregon, Smith started expanding the campus in the early 1990s and built one of the first assisted living communities in Oregon. After that, he added IL cottages in 1997, more assisted living units in 1997, and picked... Read More »
