Presenters reviewed historical cost-per-resident-day data and proposed raising private-pay rates by $30 per day for 2027. "As of 2026, right now, we're spending about $473 a day to take care of 1 resident and that private pay resident is paying currently $370 so we are proposing a $30 a day increase in our private pay rates," the presenter said.
The presenter also noted the center's $400-a-day private-pay target would place it toward the middle of skilled nursing facilities in Walworth County — not the highest nor the lowest. Board members asked clarifying questions about cost drivers and agency pay while presenters stressed that Medicaid reimbursement variability and payer mix influence overall revenue projections.
