Revenues for the 2002 third quarter totaled $630.5 million, compared to $691.9 million in the year-earlier period, due primarily to a 14 percent reduction in the number of beds. This reduced capacity primarily was due to the strategic sale of nursing home operations in Florida Florida, state, United States

This integration is designed to bring greater focus and more effective use of clinical resources to this critical area.

"We also are adding client service specialists at key nursing homes to counsel patients and their families on care planning objectives and treatment expectations. In addition, we've expanded our nurse-attorney function and more closely integrated it into our skilled nursing operations. These nurse attorneys now play a more proactive and preventative role with the nursing homes in addressing incidents and misunderstandings that might otherwise form the basis for claims and lawsuits. They also are providing our nursing homes with additional assistance on survey and regulatory issues. Another action we've taken that is designed to minimize lawsuits is the implementation, effective October 1, of voluntary arbitration arbitration
