This week, please enjoy the first episode of our new podcast series, "Mission Possible," produced in conjunction with the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care and AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. Each week, you'll hear in-depth interviews and conversations about the ways that leaders can turn decades of reports and recommendations into real results for the people who live in and work in U.S. nursing homes.

As the co-founder and former CEO of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC), Robert Kramer has a deep and broad perspective on the financial factors that shape long-term care. Like it or not, in a for-profit health care system, where investors put their dollars – and where they don't – has a direct impact on the types of services that are available to elders across the country.

Alex Spanko sat down with Kramer to talk through the current nursing home investment landscape and discuss possible financial levers for driving change in long-term care. Please note this interview was originally recorded in fall 2022.
