High-End Medicaid Assisted Living

High-End Medicaid Assisted Living

by | Aug 23, 2021 9:24 am | Opinion

More than 25 years ago, when private-pay assisted living burst on the scene, there was a large percentage of nursing home residents that had no other choice in their local communities, but had the financial resources to pay out-of-pocket. Many of them turned to assisted living. For those on Medicaid, the choices were slim.  We have long advocated that states could save money with their Medicaid-funded residents if Medicaid covered more assisted living for those who truly can’t afford any private pay living arrangement, especially those needing any kind of nursing care. The fear, of course, was that the Medicaid pie would expand as opposed to merely shifting where the money... Read More »

Vacancy in Dade City

Vacancy in Dade City

by | Feb 1, 2017 8:30 am | Acquisitions

Birchwood Health Care Properties just added the 21st property to its seniors housing portfolio, but with one catch: the community is vacant. Located in Dade City, Florida (about 30 miles inland between Tampa and Orlando), the target was originally built as a hotel and converted to include 230 units of seniors housing. As recently as early 2015, it served over 200 residents but ran into clinical and operational challenges under its previous management. So in comes Birchwood, which along with operator Priority Life Care will invest $750,000 in renovations. Plus, pre-marketing and construction planning was initiated well before this transaction’s closing in early January in anticipation of a... Read More »
