MH Management Group

Our mission is to enhance the lives of those we serve and we do this by providing outstanding care that heightens patient and resident satisfaction through the Mission Experience.

Mission Health Management Group is here to help

The Mission Health Management Group offers management services across the post-acute care continuum. We assist states, regulators, receivers, lenders, landlords, payors, owners and providers with stabilizing operating, financial, clinical and regulatory performance and improving asset value for communities ranging from single site holdings to large regional portfolios.

Here's our story

The Mission Health Management Group specializes in operating, monitoring and consulting for troubled communities that require stabilization, strategic redirection and turnaround services. 
Over the last 18 months, the Management Group has managed 25 communities in its portfolio.  These contracts have included facilities in receivership, a CMS monitoring agreement and long-term management agreements in partnership with ownership groups.

Our Services

The Mission Health Management Group has entered into third-party management agreements and also consulting services in partnership with ownership groups, state and federal regulators, landlords and payors. We specialize in providing the following services:

  • Long-Term Management Agreements
  • Short-Term Management Agreements
  • Temporary Management Agreements
  • Management Agreements for Communities in Receivership
  • Monitoring of portfolios for landlords, payors and lenders
  • Clinical consulting services

Long-Term Management Agreements

Mission Health has partnered with ownership groups to provide successful long-term management services for communities. Our temporary manager agreements and short-term management agreements have the potential to convert into long-term management agreements, and several of our past agreements have done so.

Short-Term Management Agreements

Mission Health can contract with an ownership group, lender or landlord on a short-term agreement in order to assess performance, set a plan of action for improvement and stabilize a community through improved clinical, financial and operational performance.  This process can improve the asset value for a lender and help the community get back on track for an owner.

Temporary Management Agreements

Mission Health Management Group has has partnered with an ownership group, CMS and the state regulatory agency to serve as a temporary manager for a community that was placed on a fast-track process for closure.  We successfully improved the compliance and clinical performance to clear a survey and bring stability to the community. 

Management of Communities in Receivership

There are 20 communities in receivership that Mission Health Communities has provided management services for since March 2018.

1.
Mission Health Communities contracts with the receiver, state agency or the lender/landlord to provide day-to-day management services for the community in receivership.

2.
Our purpose is to foster these communities until new ownership is found. At this time, all 18 facilities have been successfully sold or are currently being considered for new ownership.

3.
Mission Health has successfully improved the value of these facilities through improved regulatory compliance, operational and clinical performance, financial performance and increased resident and staff satisfaction. This improvement has made the communities more marketable.

Monitoring

Mission Health can provide oversight services for landlords, lenders and payors in order to identify communities that need additional support or interventions and those that are headed in the wrong direction and need additional monitoring. The purpose is to prevent communities from reaching the level of operational problems that lead to not paying rent, bankruptcy, receiverships and closure.

Clinical and Operational Consulting

Mission Health can contract with an ownership group, lender, landlord or payor to perform various consulting services in order to assess performance, set a plan of action for improvement and stabilize a community through improved clinical, financial and operational performance.
