Skilled nursing faces tough choices amid rising healthcare costs and lower payouts
Skilled nursing businesses are feeling the squeeze as rising healthcare costs collide with shrinking reimbursement rates. Medicare and Medicaid often fall short, leaving these businesses to pick up the slack. Labor costs are also climbing, with a shortage of qualified nurses forcing businesses to offer higher wages and better benefits.
On top of that, staying compliant with regulations means investing in new technology and systems—never a cheap fix. And rising costs for medical supplies and utilities only add to the financial strain. Despite all this, skilled nursing businesses still need to provide top-notch care.
Small businesses can reap big rewards by navigating the challenges of skilled nursing growth
Skilled nursing businesses and the need for specialized services like memory care, short-term rehabilitation, or even integrating telehealth are experiencing significant growth due to several key factors:
- By 2030, all baby boomers will be at least 65 and are expected to drive continued growth in the skilled nursing industry.
- Innovations in medical technology now allow skilled nursing facilities to provide more complex treatments.
Skilled nursing businesses can capitalize on current trends by expanding services and adopting new technologies to meet growing demand. As baby boomers age, the need for services like telehealth and advanced treatments will increase, making it essential for businesses to adapt. However, these advancements come with substantial costs—telehealth systems and upgrading medical equipment for complex treatments can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
SBA loans provide an ideal solution to finance these advancements. With flexible terms, lower down payments and competitive rates, SBA 7a loans offer up to $5 million for businesses to invest in critical areas such as new technology or expanding facilities. SBA 504 loans also allow businesses to finance real estate or equipment with long-term, fixed rates.
