“As trustee on defaulted bonds, we have had the chance to work with Health Service Innovations on six senior living facilities in the upper Midwest, including independent living, assisted living, and facilities, analogous to CCRC’s which provide combinations of those services with skilled nursing and memory care. In some situations, HSI staff has been asked to come on a true emergency basis, including one situation in which previous management had to be removed during the course of the day. In every instance, HSI has performed very well, including in situations where it has stepped in with little notice and stabilized a troubled property.
HSI has provided impeccable financial reporting, and it has been able to improve morale among employees and residents by offering attention and care to the most immediate needs of the residents and the facility. In this way, it serves as a superb crisis manager, which is equipped to bring needed stability to properties which are not performing well financially. HSI also has been able to analyze the source of the problems very quickly. We have used its services to d market studies to identify opportunities for market improvement, as well as day to day management, and its data has been proven to be accurate and thoughtful.” Virginia Anne Housum
