One of the first aspects of the Montgomery Meadows operation that we noticed was that about 20% of the current residents could be moved to an Adult Home with an assisted living program or limited home health care program to accommodate residents classified as PA’s, PB’s, and CA’s. See the effect of having a facility of this type available to Montgomery Meadows in the Financial Analysis section of this report.

This program was discussed during our feasibility study meetings, and it was determined that there weren’t sufficient beds available in the County to accommodate these residents, particularly the dementia residents.
