Robert L. Clapp
President/CEO, United Methodist Homes
Chairman, The Long Hill Company
 Under Mr. Clapp’s leadership,
and with the support of a dedicated executive team and board of directors,
United Methodist Homes has grown and expanded its mission to become the
largest not-for-profit organization providing health care and residential
services to seniors in Connecticut.
United Methodist Homes now owns and/or
manages skilled nursing facilities, assisted living residences, and retirement
communities in five states.With more than 30 years in the industry, Mr.
Clapp brings his vision and experience to UMH to identify the key elements
of a rapidly changing health care industry.
In 1997, he formed The Long
Hill Company and hand picked a team of professionals whose diverse
expertise successfully manages, markets, consults within the industry,
and executes reorganization plans. The firm not only assists with identification
and screening of potential purchasers of troubled properties, but contracts
on efficiency management projects as well. In line with his vision, The
Long Hill Company seeks rewarding and challenging experiences, and its
people bring a wealth of resources and expertise to help insure that its
parent organization, United Methodist Homes, remains competitive in the
market.
Mr. Clapp has had extensive “turnaround” experience during
his career in long-term care. He received an appointment from the Trustees
to operate several skilled nursing and intermediate care facilities in
the single, largest bankruptcy filing in the Boston Federal District Court.
Mr. Clapp improved relations with regulatory authorities, developed new
vendor relationships, and obtained court approval for implementing renovations
based on his comprehensive marketing plan and financial projections.
During
an 11-year tenure with General Health Management (GHM), Mr. Clapp helped
deficiency-laden facilities avoid de-certification and potential revocation
of license by developing contractual relationships for both short and
long term durations. Prior to GHM, Mr. Clapp served as President of Parkside
Senior Services of Illinois, where he implemented the development of projects
for seniors and skilled nursing facilities in situations where there was
a lack of management experience, or operational ratios or requirements
had not been met. Mr. Clapp established his firm on “short-list”
of recommended contract management, marketing and consulting sources.
Mr. Clapp holds a law degree from Western New England College and a Bachelor
of Science degree in Business from the University of Connecticut. |
