Bridge HomeCare Partners will provide a turnkey managed solution, or partner in a traditional joint venture, to build a best practices homecare agency for your nursing home company and add complimentary services outside of your core competencies.

The skilled nursing industry is capital intensive and competitive, yet has the same underlying “aging of America demographics” that are relevant to homecare. However, skilled facilities face the same inherent pressure hospitals face because Medicare and managed care are forcing more rehabilitation and therapy out of the inpatient setting and into the lower cost environment of the home.

The benefits of operating a homecare agency are clear:

• The predicted growth of homecare far exceeds the current growth rates of skilled nursing facilities and number of total beds
• Homecare is the most logical complementary service for current patients outside of nursing home facilities
• Many chronic patients are in a continual cycle of visits to a hospital, a skilled facility, the home, back to the hospital, and so on. By providing quality homecare, skilled facilities increase the likelihood of readmittance to their own facilities when needed
• The cost of operating a homecare agency is exceptionally low when compared to building and opening new facilities, and offers significantly higher margins
