BERWICK, Penn., February 13, 2020 – Berwick Hospital Center and Retirement Village today announced an agreement has been signed for Plainview Healthcare to acquire the assets of Berwick Retirement Village. Plainview Healthcare Partners is a healthcare management company focused on providing superior care in skilled nursing and assisted living communities.
Plainview Healthcare Partners is a large national operator of skilled nursing facilities, serving older adults of all faiths through compassionate care and vibrant community engagement. Their goal is to provide excellent care in a warm, homelike environment which preserves and enhances independence and dignity; where people can live, learn and flourish.
According to Michael Herr, Interim CEO of Berwick Hospital Center and Berwick Retirement Village, “Aligning the expertise of Plainview Healthcare Partners with Berwick Retirement Village is a win for our community. Plainview has committed to make additional financial investment in the facility. With BRV under their ownership, our leadership will be able to focus our time and resources solely on the hospital.”
As part of the purchase agreement, Plainview is committing to make additional investments in the BRV building and staff training.
The ownership transition is expected to be complete by mid-year, subject to regulatory review and requirements.

All BRV employees in good standing will be hired by Plainview Healthcare Partners when the transaction is complete.
“Berwick Hospital Center and Berwick Retirement Village have had a long-standing relationship for generations,” said Herr. “Our collaboration on behalf of older adults in our community will continue even when we are separate organizations.”
