It is making me wonder though - did Welltower not answer questions about Gefner’s other businesses because they involved Prison Health? That might present a bit of a PR problem - joint venture with nursing homes to someone running Prison health care?
That new company, Integra Health, will lease the facilities from Welltower and then sublet them to regional operators, according to Welltower. Integra’s CEO, David Gefner, did not respond to multiple requests for more information on his experience in real estate and health care. Welltower declined to provide details about its dealings with Integra, which is also known as Integra Healthcare Properties.
Nursing facilities get enough bad press with poor services and neglect and abuse.
