Usually we hear of counties selling their unprofitable skilled nursing facilities, but not this time. A county in Pennsylvania is building a brand-new facility to replace its existing 80-year old SNF, with the help of a $34 million loan from the USDA. Located in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, the old facility was originally built in 1938, with additions in the 1970s and 1990s, and was experiencing higher and higher maintenance costs. Owned by Centre County, the facility was also operated by the county until 2013, when a not-for-profit board took over, leasing the property for $1 a year. Since then, the not-for-profit has improved occupancy, with a 75% Medicaid census, and made the facility... Read More »
