Presentation delivered by Bryan Starnes, Chief Financial Officer, Affinity Living Group at the marcus evanc Long-Term Care & Senior Living Central CXO Summit, October 2016, in Chicago.
2. What is on the Horizon?
• Increasing Federal and State Regulations throughout the Continuum of Care.
• Decreasing number of seniors with sufficient pension income or L-T care plans.
• Recognition for the Need for Solutions to Affordable Long Term Care.
• Increasing Investment in Technology to augment Operational Efficiencies.
• Increased need for qualified professionals in the industry at all levels.
• Outcome Driven Payment Models will replace the current Fee for Service Models.
• Integrated Health Care Delivery Systems will continue to evolve.
• Expect the Medicalization of Assisted Living as a fundamental Health Care Policy
Change.
3. Increased Demand
• Tsunami is coming – a wave of population
• Oldest of 79 million Baby Boomers turn 65 in 2020
5. Declining Pension and Insufficient Savings
• No pensions
• Workers Enrolled in Pension Plans
• 1979: 28%
• 2012: 3%
6. The Vision of the Future
• Americans will Proactively Choose Senior Living
• There will be a need for Dynamic Senior Living Environments
• Larger range in acuity levels and healthcare needs while keeping costs down
• A growing role for Accountable and Managed Care Organizations
• Increased Need for Healthcare Technology
8. INTEGRATED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS
• Integrated health care delivery platforms
• Person-centered care
• Respectful of individual preferences, needs, and values; supported by active involvement of
individuals and their families including clinical treatment decisions.
• Accountable Care Organization (ACO)
• Seeks to tie provider reimbursements to quality metrics and reductions in the total cost for an
assigned population of patients.
• Managed Care Organization (MCO)
• Combines the functions of health insurance, delivery of care, and administration for an
assigned population of patients. These plans provide health care in return for a
predetermined monthly fee and coordinate care through a defined network of physicians and
hospitals (i.e., HMOs, PPOs).
• Coordinated Care Organizations (CCO)
• Networks of all types of health care providers who have agreed to work together in their local
communities for people who receive health care coverage. Each CCO is run by a local board
composed of healthcare providers and community members.
9. Increasing Interest in Affordability and Value
• In the next five to ten years baby-boomers will have less financial
resources available than their parents and affordability will become
increasingly important.
• As our industry grows and evolves, more people are recognizing the
need and the value that affordable senior living provides. When you
compare the cost of trying to offer at home what’s offered in a senior
living community it is nearly impossible to replicate.
10. WHERE ADULT CARE HOMES (“ACH”) FIT IN THE
CONTINUUM
Communities are designed for adults who are no longer able to live on their own safely. Residents require assistance with supervision,
medications, activities of daily living, meals and housekeeping. Three meals per day are provided in a central dining room. Staff is available 24
hours per day for additional safety.
NC ACH communities reside at the inflection point of costly skilled nursing and post-acute care in the continuum.
ACH communities span the intermediate nursing care spectrum of the continuum and are being paid half of what nursing homes are.

Importance in Care Continuum
Unique to North Carolina Only
11. COST OF CARE FOR ACH
Overview Total Cost of Care Per Day
• The cost to care for a resident in an assisted
living facility is less than the cost of
incarceration in the state of North Carolina.
• Skilled nursing by comparison costs more
than 200% per day than caring for a resident
in an assisted living setting.
• The annual cost of one resident being cared
for in skilled nursing setting vs. assisted living
is more than $32,000.

12. Higher Acuity in Assisted Living: Risk or Reward?
Keep your staff realistic about their caregiving capabilities
Implement protocols to manage higher acuity residents
Build an Assessment Mentality-know what you are accepting
Partner with other health care organizations
to create the most cost effective setting.
.
13. More Wellness Programs and Preventative Care
• A focus on wellness will help facilities align themselves with the
demands placed on acute care facilities and reduce readmission rates
to Hospitals and Skilled Nursing facilities.
• There is a big opportunity and challenge to keep people healthy and
out of hospitals. Senior Housing Communities will be a vital link in
that chain, through proper planning, they can bridge the gap between
home and the hospital.
• Data collection and predictive analytics will be focused on medication
management, physician and occupational therapy, nutrition, and care
plans. The healthcare industry is quickly shifting to help aging adults
stay on top of their health and keep them out of a hospital bed.
17. PREPARING FOR MANAGED CARE
Keys to Success in a Managed Care Environment:
Data rather than anecdotes: Using data and
outcomes to drive quality, define performance,
and guide operations.
Patient Centric Models: Integrating primary
care physicians directly into AL settings via a
patient-centered medical home model.
Strategic Partnerships: Cultivating well-being
through therapy-driven physical wellness
programming and seamless access to other
services through strategic partnerships and
alliances.
Utilization of technology to
measure and predict outcomes.
Economies of scale and company
footprint in a specific state and/or
region will dictate who is partnered
with and terms of the arrangement.
