Positioning Your Company in the Post-Acute Continuum
Discover how skilled nursing operators are participating in the changing post-acute environment. How do you position your company to be a continuum partner with a health system, managed care company, or physician group? What will these health care partners expect from you? Learn how one of the nation’s leading experts advises her clients and positions them to be part of the solution. Hear a major health system senior executive explain how her organization partners with skilled nursing operators and the relationships they have formed with them. Gain insight into the dynamic process one skilled nursing provider is employing to build a post-acute network that is ready to partner with health systems, physician groups and managed care companies. Panelists will discuss their views of today’s market and their near-term outlook. You’ll gain valuable points of view on how to approach health systems, as well as information on the types of post-acute business models, payment bundling and risk sharing, hospital re-admissions, and more need-to-know topics.

Case Studies for Modernization: Keeping Up With the Times the Old-Fashioned Way — With Ingenuity, Not Money
Every facility owner faces the problem of keeping up with the competition. Some have the ability to throw lots of money at the problem, constructing purpose-built additions or substantially rehabbing existing structures. However, some owners either do not have access to funds or must meet resident needs in other ways. You’ll gain insight and understanding from this panel of experienced owner/operators as they present case studies on how they increased the profitability of their facilities through a focus on programmatic changes rather than substantial rehabilitation and additions.

Moderator: Dan Biron, Managing Director -National Director of Health Care Programs, Lancaster Pollard

Panelists:
  • John Elliot, President, AMFM, Inc.
  • John P. O’Brien, Jr. , Principal - Chairman, Grace Healthcare, LLC
  • Reneé Pruzansky, Chief Operating Officer, AristaCare Health Services


When to Hold and When to Fold: Exit Strategies for Nursing Home Sellers and Investors
After successfully running a nursing home, the next question founders, investors, and owners should ask is: What is the exit strategy? However, in the nursing home industry, timing this decision depends on the ebb and flow of reimbursements plus regulatory, industry, and capital market conditions. This time of unprecedented reimbursement and regulatory uncertainty makes mergers and acquisitions in the nursing home sector challenging. What are the exit options for nursing home sellers and investors? Outright sale or some form of recapitalization? What are the opportunities, investment theses, analytical models, and outlook for nursing home acquisitions and recapitalizations? You’ll walk away with detailed information on the mechanics, structure, deal terms, and pricing for each prototype exit transaction. Plus, you’ll examine transactions involving private equity, REIT sale-leasebacks and distressed turnaround sales, with a focus on middle-market deals.

Moderator: Mark S. Davis, President, Healthcare Transactions Group, Inc.

Panelists:
  • Alexander Fraser, Director, GI Partners, LLC
  • Clint Malin, Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, LTC Properties,Inc.
  • Greg Stapley, Executive Vice President, The Ensign Group, Inc.
