Robert Bates

President of Magnolia LTC Management Services

Robert Bates entered the healthcare field in 1975. A few years later, in 1980, he earned his skilled nursing administrator's license. Robert worked for three different companies as an administrator, a regional director and V.P. of operations, and a director of risk management. Years later he became a consultant, providing oversight for underwriting, risk management and claims services to a multi-state acute hospital chain and numerous long-term care operations. Robert also oversaw a program which administered a state-wide workers' compensation and professional and general liability insurance program for long-term care facilities.

In May 2003, Robert joined forces with two other individuals to create Magnolia LTC Management Services Inc. (Magnolia), a firm specializing in senior care facility insurance products, skillful claims administration and risk management. As president, he oversees the underwriting, pre- and post-risk assessment and ongoing risk management of multi-level long-term care facilities. Robert is proud of the Magnolia staff's tremendous depth of long-term care experience. Magnolia also uses a cutting-edge Web-based risk assessment and management system, and maintains training protocols for real-time risk-avoidance intervention for its long-term facility clients.
