Investing in Nursing Home Facilities
Nursing homes are big businesses that provide valuable investment opportunities for private equity firms around the world. Nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities, also known as long-term care facilities, provide a variety of services to people for people who don't need to be in a hospital but can't be cared for at home. Yosef Mystel possesses nearly two decades of experience in residential administration, providing support to over 25 nursing homes for senior citizens. It may not be a glamorous business, but nursing home chains can generate revenues, states Mr. Mystel. The healthcare market offers stability, earning further popularity as a top alternative asset class to property investors looking for lucrative investment opportunities.
Baby boomers are retiring every day and are looking for the ideal place to spend their leisure years. Over 4 million Americans are admitted to or reside in nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities each year and nearly one million persons reside in assisted living facilities. But, as the aging population grows larger every year, the demand for healthcare in nursing facilities is expected to grow substantially in the decades ahead. A new study shows that more than half of Americans will find themselves in a nursing home at some point in their lives, a new study shows.
According to Yosef Mystel, people aged over 75 will be the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population between 2020 and 2030. The healthcare entrepreneur also estimates that more than two-thirds of the over 65-year old crowd will need assistance to deal with a loss in functioning at some point of their remaining life. Of course, that doesn't mean that all home health care providers will succeed and thrive, but it does suggest that the overall spending on home health care services is likely to climb given the total number of patients heading higher. That by itself is a reason enough for investors to keep home healthcare providers on their watch list. If these rates of prevalence continue, the number of elderly people with functional or cognitive limitations, and thus the need for assistance, will increase sharply in coming decades.
Investors who are looking to join the game and make some money from institutional nursing and assisted living business models can participate as passive investors, buying shares in real estate investment trusts that specialize in healthcare facilities. For the average real estate investor used to flipping homes or buying rental properties, there are other cheaper alternatives that can deliver positive cash flow, without leaving the comfort zone of his current business model.

Investing in the Healthcare Sector
The healthcare sector is made up of many different industries with different dynamics. Investments in this sector are affected by many variables, including both positive and negative trends. According to Yosef Mystel, a dedicated entrepreneur who administers support to a number of nursing homes for senior citizens, one of the key positive factors that may affect the healthcare sector in the near future, is the increased need for services. Namely, in the United States, approximately 15,000 people turn 65 every day. This aging population requires more extensive treatments and medical care. Obesity and health issues associated with overweight, could also increase demand for medical services, adds Yosef Mystel in a post published at his blog.
As in every other sector, healthcare investing requires knowledge and a multifaceted approach to understand the underlying drivers. Healthcare investors can profit from investments in both the overall sector and its industries. When it comes to investing sustainably, Yosef Mystel believes there is no greater theme to explore than healthcare. It’s all about quality of life, and healthcare doesn’t have just one driver of growth, there are several. In the following decades, Yosef Mystel expects the U.S. healthcare market to be transformed, based on value.
In the developed world, growing demand for healthcare is being driven by demographics. As we age, we all require more medical attention to maintain our health. In addition to that, the expanding middle class in emerging-market economies such as India, Brazil, and China will raise the demand for better healthcare in these areas too. Physical inactivity, and the fact that most emerging-market countries, as well as the West, are known for their increasingly sedentary lifestyles, means we will all spend more money on drugs to fight diabetes and other health issues and complications caused by obesity.
However, Yosef Mystel is convinced that companies that improve people’s lives will ultimately do well for investors as well, and will generate cash through demand for their products. In the healthcare sector, this means offering drugs and services that improve the quality of people’s lives for the long term. He is also optimistic about making broad investments in a sector with incredible long-term potential.
These are especially exciting times for investors in the healthcare sector. Furthermore, the sudden upsurge in new, effective treatments that will help us understand the genetic causes of disease, offer plenty of opportunities in the near future. Yosef Mystel believes recent advances in science and technology will mark the start of a new era of drug discovery and consumer-oriented, data-driven medicine. There are already several new companies using innovative technology and alternative approaches that are driving down costs in the healthcare system.
Healthcare Management
Sometimes a few days in the hospital just isn’t enough time for your body to recover, and you need more time in rehabilitation before you can head home. That’s where skilled nursing facilities come in. As Yosef Mystel expects, in near future, skilled nursing homes will become the next big thing in helping patients recover in full health.
And why wouldn’t they be? Nursing facilities have all the necessary resources to help patients get healthier way faster than they would in a traditional large hospital center, offering a staff of highly trained nurses, physicians, and therapists who are leaders in their own respective fields. The knowledgeable staff will not only provide quality medical attention and attentive support, but it will also assist you throughout every step of your journey. Furthermore, their deep understanding of the resident's physical limitations, allows these professionals to assess how a certain individual might benefit from assistance with daily activities.
If the situation requires, nursing homes also provide round-the-clock, expert nursing care and daily assistance to seniors. This assistance ranges from simple daily activities such as getting dressed, eating, bathing, to more complex medical activities, like severely wounded care. Healthcare manager Yosef Mystel estimates that by 2030, the number of seniors aged 65 and over will reach to 72 million, which means it will grow by more than 75 percent, accounting for one-fifth of the total U.S. population. Yosef Mystel also predicts that in order to meet the healthcare needs of this aging population, the healthcare management field will expand by 22 percent over the next decade, outpacing the average U.S. occupation.
But, finding the right nursing home isn’t that easy. As a matter of fact, it often takes time. That is why Yosef Mystel points out the importance of beginning the search for a suitable nursing home well in advance. Quality nursing facilities, often have long waiting periods for available accommodations, and sometimes simply planning ahead can make the transition of moving into a nursing home much easier.
Working with the public daily, Yosef Mystel possesses rich experience assisting people with finding nursing homes for their loved ones. As he explains, in many cases, families choose nursing homes after medical emergencies take place or other similar stressful situations occur. In each instance, Mr. Mystel practices patience and courtesy. Well aware how important it is to optimize healthcare facilities operations, he designs and implements strategic management solutions designed to increase service performance and reduce overhead costs for clients.
Healthcare facilities management is crucial to ensure service requests are provided efficiently and quickly. It also helps maintain operations without intermission. With a solid understanding of capital markets, group dynamics, and different kinds of leadership, Yosef Mystel has the confidence and skills to ensure patients receive high-quality care by providing physicians and nurses with the tools they need in order to deliver great health care. He upholds high ethical standards overseeing the personnel, facility operations, finances, and information technology of healthcare organizations, and strives to improve the efficiency and quality of patient care while reducing costs.
