With the announcement of $10 billion being cut from Medicaid by 2010, and The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid are looking for ways to shift longterm care services to home-based and community based settings, nursing homes are becoming the last option for care, instead of the “center” for care. And, as America continues to age, nursing home organizations are actively looking for ways to remain financially stable as government reimbursements continue to be cut.Today, those seniors who are 65 or older number 36 million and make up 13% of the nation’s population. By the year 2030, the number of individuals who are 65 years and older are expected to double to more than 71.5 million people. The fastest growing age group within this segment are individuals 85 years and older. These seniors account for 1.5% of the population, or just over 4 million individuals. This age group, is expected to grow to 5% of the population over the next 45 years. In the face of these changing demographics, nursing home organizations are looking at opportunities to attract this growing market segment. This age group (85+) and the aging of the baby boomers (those born between 1946-1964) are forcing nursing homes to look for new ways to secure their business by redefining the meaning of traditional long-term care. In an attempt to adapt to a changing landscape, many nursing home companies are diversifying their services to attract seniors who are otherwise choosing assisted living facilities or desiring to receive care at home, through home care agencies. Many top nursing home organizations are now offering their own home healthcare services or are exploring assisted-living options. These services are less regulated and often utilize private pay and offer less dependency from a reimbursement standpoint. These factors, in combination with the adoption of additional nursing home services, may allow many nursing home organizations to stay competitive and profitable. As of 2005, Verispan data indicates that the number of nursing home facilities and beds have decreased from the same time period one year ago while occupancy rates have remained unchanged. These challenging industry metrics will shape the direction of the nursing home market in the near future. And, ultimately, it will be those facilities that seek new ways to meet changing consumer demands, diversify their services and generate new revenue streams that will allow them to improve these benchmark figures, realize success and be on the forefront of a changing long-term care environment.
