In recognition of the growth and need of our aging population for special types of housing with ancillary health care services, our attorneys have assisted health care institutions and real estate developers in the development of various forms of retirement housing, including continuing care retirement communities with entrance fees, rental and other models (which may or may not offer assisted living services and nursing home care), as well as free standing assisted living facilities. And, because the delivery of health care services is labor intensive, the firm's health care group includes experts in labor relations, employment relations, employment discrimination, workmen's compensation, retirement plans, wage and hour law and professional practice plans.
