New analysis from ATI Advisory (ATI) commissioned by the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC) evaluates the emergence and characteristics of private capital within the nursing home industry and shows that the role these capital providers play – one which is increasingly divisive – is a result of a long history of unpredictable reimbursement and flawed financial incentives across Medicare and Medicaid, the primary sources of nursing home revenue. The report urges policymakers to consider adapting reimbursement and regulatory measures so that they are more informed by investor incentives and promote investments that directly benefit a nursing home operator’s population.
