“ We ’ re dedicated to helping older adults live the fullest lives they possibly can ,” outlines David Finkelstein , CIO at RiverSpring . “ We ’ re transforming the landscape so that we can provide the best care and the best services .”
A rapid evolution Since Finkelstein joined in 2012 , RiverSpring Living has skyrocketed from around US $ 200m to an astonishing US $ 1.2bn .
Back then , managed care plans were just getting off the ground and a significant proportion of the supportive housing didn ’ t even exist . In fact , RiverSpring ’ s core business proposition was its nursing home in Riverdale , accommodating almost 900 beds .
However , as Finkelstein explains , the organisation has had little option but to evolve to keep pace with rapidlychanging demands .
