What is the Future of the Skilled Nursing Sector?
Wednesday Opening General Session • 9:00 – 10:30 a.m.
|
In the face of rapid changes occurring in long-term care, the present moment is a time of unprecedented challenges but also
major new opportunities. Some predict significant downsizing of the skilled nursing sector while others see opportunities
for transformation, adaptation, and growth. In this opening session, you’ll take a sweeping look at the forces affecting
the sector right now and the emerging issues to come. From the impact of health care reform legislation and reimbursement
cuts to the evolving expectations of a more demanding customer, you’ll walk away energized with a clearer picture of concurrent
trends, their significance and insight into actions you might take. In a climate where federal funding policy is increasingly
shifting from an institutional bias to the promotion of home and community based services, where does the traditional skilled
nursing provider fit in? Who will be the skilled nursing residents of tomorrow, and what will be required to attract and
care for these residents? What are the implications for providers regarding the focus on preventing unnecessary re-hospitalizations
and what should you be doing in response? Come hear predictions as to who will be the winners and the losers in the fast-changing
long-term care delivery system. Assess the profiles of successful operators and hear insights into who won’t make it and
why. Get answers and perspective from our panel of experts and hear the latest skilled nursing performance trends as revealed
by NIC MAP data.

Charting the Future in the Midst of Fiscal Uncertainty
Wednesday Luncheon & General Session • 12:00 – 1:45 p.m.
|
The shift to MDS 3.0/RUGs IV, the possibility of additional Medicare cuts to pay for expanded health care coverage, state
budget deficit pressures on Medicaid funding – what should you expect in terms of Medicare and Medicaid funding in the coming
year and how should you respond? This is your opportunity to get an informed view — firsthand — from senior-level experts
within the industry. You’ll hear an up-to-the-minute account of events in Washington, D.C., and the field. You’ll learn
what’s being done to stave off more cuts at the state level, and where they will likely turn for the dollars they need.
Alan Rosenbloom, president of the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care, is a well-regarded expert in Medicare and its
effects on the bottom line. AHCA’s new president and CEO, Mark Parkinson, brings his experience as Governor of Kansas and
as an operator of long-term care facilities, to provide a uniquely informed perspective on policy and the pressures affecting
state budgets and the industry. Jim Gomez, through his in-depth experience in California, understands the conflicting issues
facing its governor and state legislature. Plus, have your chance to participate in the conversation through an open Q&A
forum with these authoritative thought leaders.

The Coming Cap Rate Divide: The Future (Not the Past) of Valuations
Wednesday General Session • 4:00 – 5:30 p.m.
|
How will the convergence of Federal and state budget deficits, RUGs-IV, and outsized litigation claims reshape the valuation
model for long-term care going forward? Will the past be a predictor of the future? Will all facilities be treated the same?
Is it time to stick with long-term care or go short long-term care? Look ahead at the trends shaping the valuation paradigm
and the possible resultant scenarios. Some see a future landscape further separating the haves from the have-nots, or those
with low cap rates and high valuations from those with high cap rates and low valuations. Will we see a more pronounced
division between winners and losers? While some properties will command very good valuations, how might older facilities
fare? This panel discussion features three experienced players who are well qualified to comment on how these factors will
reshape the valuation paradigm. A high-value, must-attend session for industry trend watchers who want to be in-the-know
on this dynamic issue.

Attune your thinking with the forward-leaning ideas and strategies companies are employing to adapt and survive long term.
In this practical, energetic session devoted to the subject of insight and inspired innovation, you’ll come away with ideas
for survival and growth that you can put to use right away. Our expert panel is prepared to share their informed perspectives
on today’s challenges and the novel solutions innovative operators employ. Consider how some operators are responding to
obstacles and opportunities. Which innovations are worth the risk? What will consumers demand and what could be another
passing fad? Weigh how large, public companies improve their facilities and what smaller, regional operators have found
to be successful. Ask questions of our panel of CEOs and presidents and challenge assumptions in an open Q&A format that
will enable you to apply topics directly to the challenges you face. You’ll leave this discussion empowered with a clearer
view of the possibilities for navigating the complex issues affecting your company and the industry.
