MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR ASSISTED LIVING/INDEPENDENT LIVING
LodeStar Healthcare Services, LLC (LodeStar) is a recently formed MANAGEMENT COMPANY. The senior executive team has over 30 years each of individual experience in the senior housing and healthcare industry including legislative experience, valuation and market feasibility studies, finance, development, zoning and operational experience (six years of management experience).
Our Team has experience facilitating the development of start-ups, development of clinical programming, management of assisted living and independent living operations with Bright Path Program, GPS having successfully received the Gold Seal of Approval by the Joint Commission (www.jointcommission.org) and a 4th Year Resident Rotation with a Major Teaching Hospital (Department of Psychiatry).
Our TEAM has successfully procured senior housing zoning designations and also has experience in Mergers and Acquisitions.
LodeStar was formed due to the realization that Management Companies have become scarce for start-ups due to the strong growth and development within the industry over the last five years. Many of our existing clients have lost “Deals” and/or were unable to “Close” on their land acquisition due to Management Company’s inability to respond in a timely manner.
LodeStar is a sister company to Bright Path Program GPS, LLC which provides clinical programming for seniors (BrainFlex Cognitive Program, Out-Patient Addiction Program. Mood and Anxiety Program and Pain Program). All programs under Bright Path are accredited by the Joint Commission. In addition, Bright Path has received a contract with a established “Teaching Hospital” to receive a 4th year Resident Rotation (Department of Psychiatry).
Our seasoned TEAM includes Ed Handy (Clinical Director), Carol Reynolds (COO), Howard Wilson (CEO), Terry Sullivan (Medical Director) and Robert Reynolds (Executive Director), as well as select Developers, Architects, Contractors and Brokers who provide services for individual Projects.
