60 Seconds with Monroe: Happy Thanksgiving
Rarely does the entire clinical staff at a nursing home walk out in protest of working conditions, but that was the case a few months ago in New Mexico. I was made aware of it when I received a call from an 82-year old woman in New Mexico who volunteers to help the elderly make decisions who are at the end of their life. The manager is a company called OpCo NM, very original, and apparently they have been buying up nursing homes in New Mexico. She believed the people running it were formerly associated with Skyline Healthcare, the company that walked away from more than 100 leased nursing homes after sucking all the cash from them. While I could not verify the connection, given what... Read More »

In addition, an RN will have to be on site 24 hours a day. That is going to be very tough for many facilities. Rural nursing homes will have up to five years to meet the proposed standards, and non-rural facilities up to three years. There will be a 60-day... Read More »
Diversified Healthcare Trust Merger Canceled
First it was a postponement of the shareholder vote for a week, and now the ill-fated merger between Diversified Healthcare Trust (DHC) and Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) has been terminated. Two vocal shareholders combined with the three proxy firms advising against the merger was enough to convince management to finally give up. For now. Both parties to the merger have been struggling, and while management stated that this was the only way that DHC would be able to refinance its debt and get on a more solid financial footing to grow, the terms of the transaction seemed to penalize DHC shareholders too much at a time when its major operator was on the road to recovery, albeit more...
