37-A. Skilled Nursing in Life Plan Communities: A Roadmap
With thoughtful planning, senior living communities can integrate skilled nursing into their growth strategies. That's the primary message of this session, which will showcase a life plan community that built a financially sustainable, consumer-focused replacement for its skilled nursing and memory care building. Community representatives will discuss how they planned, designed, and constructed the new building, which features 32 memory care apartments, 68 long-term nursing units, and a 32-unit short-term rehabilitation center. You'll learn how to combine financial planning metrics, innovative design, and proactive management to deliver high-quality nursing care that aligns with your organization's mission and economic expectations.
