ⓘ Understanding These Financial Reports
The large negative values for Net Income and Assets reflect common industry financial practices, particularly those involving:
- Net Income (Loss): The facility reports a loss because operational costs and high management fees are paid to affiliated (related-party) companies, which often legally shifts profits to reduce taxes. This is not uncommon in the industry.
Crucially: These financial reports are generally not an indicator of imminent failure or poor service quality. For actual stability and care quality, families should primarily rely on the Occupancy Rate, TCI Index Score, and the CMS Star Ratings.
