Patrick McCormick, Plante Moran's strategy and operations expert in the senior care and living industry, spoke with Senior Housing News about financial trends and other issues impacting senior care and living organizations today.

We’re seeing higher levels of outstanding accounts receivable balances, and the rigor around collection policies aren’t being followed.”
