Trilogy Health Services Makes It 11 In Michigan

Trilogy Health Services Makes It 11 In Michigan

Trilogy Health Services, better known on the development side of the skilled nursing sector, recently bought a facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, making it the 11th facility in Trilogy’s Michigan portfolio, and 108th property overall.

March Madness and Washington Madness

March Madness and Washington Madness

While March Madness for basketball may be over, the madness in Washington with healthcare reform and Medicaid block grants may be just beginning. First of all, although I am not a gambler, and do not like to speculate in stocks, I do love to fill in my brackets for March Madness. And I have been participating in Randy Bufford’s Trilogy Health Services Madness group for about 10 years now. And….this year I came in fourth out of 695 participants, my second top five finish in 10 years. That’s the good news. The other good news is that, although we were subject to quite a bit of dysfunction in Washington two weeks ago, it looks like the skilled nursing industry has been spared the chaos that...
