JHA Services Inc., which owns
The Cedars senior living facility in Portland, Maine, reported operating revenue $4.2 million lower than projected for the quarter ending April 30, according to a quarterly report posted to EMMA last Tuesday, May 31. The company was in compliance with its financial covenants for its fiscal year ending April 30 but reported that census was lower than budgeted at its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, because of “the inability to admit new residents based on [the company’s] current staffing levels.” Specifically, the company reports that it has had a “difficult time filling open direct care positions.”
Skilled nursing occupancy was 75% through April 30 compared with a budgeted occupancy of 89%. Assisted living occupancy was 79% through April 30 compared with a budgeted occupancy of 96%. Additionally, independent living occupancy was 90% through April 30 compared with a budgeted occupancy of 87%.
