Show Notes

The 50th episode of our podcast, Rethink, is now available. In an industry fraught with headline risk – and still in the national spotlight – the future of skilled nursing will be wrapped up in words. Namely, the term “nursing home.” Deke Cateau, CEO of Georgia nonprofit operator A.G. Rhodes, says the term will become obsolete, but populations will still need to have communities where individuals can no longer be taken care of at home, or in an assisted living setting. It’s all part of redefining the sector at a crucial point in time, as leaders also take a hard look at the future business model of skilled nursing facilities. Some operators have already started specializing in higher acuity, short-term care while others wonder what parts of the care continuum will pick up long-term nursing home residents. Skilled Nursing News spoke with Deke more on this separation, catalysts for change and how nonprofits like A.G. Rhodes will fit into the skilled nursing sector in the years ahead. In this episode of Rethink, learn: • Why Cateau is hopeful for the future • How A.G. Rhodes is creating private rooms for its mostly Medicaid population • What the evolution of the sector will look like, from terminology to acuity
