A team of financial and clinical experts with ties to senior living and long-term care is backing Everest Management Solutions, a new company providing business development, operational assessment and solutions.

New York-based Everest’s goal is to work on behalf of lenders, investors and operators to identify and solve problems before they lead to potential disaster. EMS provides a unique, comprehensive “one-stop shop” that is said can help long-term care and senior housing facilities find ways to stay open, reach peak performance and improve patient care. 

“Our process begins with a thorough field-level assessment,”  said CEO Darren Gee, known for his work as COO of SLC Professionals Capital Funding and director of operations at Cornerstone Healthcare. “We identify efficiencies and operational gaps within critical assets to develop a custom performance enhancing solution. If needed, our team of trusted advisors can then partner with your current tenant to assist in on-going goal achievement.” 

In addition to Gee, executive leadership includes:

  • Trissie Farr, chief clinical officer, with over 30 years of experience in the industry, including the asset management space, specializing in analyzing and monitoring clinical operations, and various quality and regulatory measures, as well as return to hospital risk.
  • Nicole Kaufman, vice president of strategic development, who uses her 15 years of senior housing and long-term care leadership experience to develop census growth strategies with industry partners such as ACOs, health plans, hospitals, physicians and ISNPs.
  • An advisory board including Peter Nyland of Sabra, Alexis Evanich of PointClickCare and Lane Bowen, formerly of Kindred and SavaSeniorCare.

This leadership group will provide clients with access to industry pioneers, with expertise including organizational leadership, finance, real estate, technology and strategic innovations.
