Our case studies highlight real-world successes where we’ve helped owners and assisted living operators overcome operational challenges, improve compliance, and achieve financial stability. These scenarios showcase our hands-on approach and the measurable impact of our consulting services.
Assisted Living & Memory Care
This beautiful historical landmark was suffering from a declining census and a dated architectural plan that made it difficult to meet the needs of today’s assisted living residents. To offset these limitations, CiminoCare was innovative in assembling a mosaic of special programs and payer sources that allowed us to micro-target referral sources.
First was a high-care program that bridges the gap between traditional assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care; second was a dedicated hospice neighborhood; next was a wellness and mental health program for people living with challenges such as mild depression and anxiety who need a high-touch approach to their overall care and medication management.
The result is a revitalized community with a census growth of over 20% over a period of 18 months and a 15% increase in the average per-bed rate. CiminoCare has also rebuilt team morale and fostered a caregiving culture at Portola Gardens that fully embraces our values.
Assisted Living
CiminoCare took advantage of an underperforming asset by acquiring the lease and engineering a turnaround after River Fountains ran into census and revenue declines coupled with regulatory problems. After a thorough evaluation to identify specific deficiencies, we executed a turnaround plan that included securing funds to complete badly needed renovations, updating operations, and repositioning sales and marketing.
River Fountains was on a compliance plan with the state regulatory agency based on deficiencies found during inspections. Over six months, CiminoCare was able to complete the renovations and correct the compliance issues.
Their payer mix was also creating a drag on profitability. We established one of our first Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) programs; once in place, the income per resident tripled. What started as a loss of $20,000 per month became a net income of $30,000 per month.
