Change of Owner/Operator/Administrator
Has your administrator recently changed? Has your facility recently undergone an Owner or Operator change?
If so, we want to know!
For MHCA to keep your facility record as current as possible, we ask that any facility member who has experienced a change in administrator, owner, or operator within the last 30 days please inform us of this change as soon as possible.
It is our goal to keep our member facilities and their owners/operators up to date on the most current issues in the long-term care industry. If we do not have the most up to date contact information, we are not able to accurately provide these important updates to you or your owners/operators.
