MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) - Adventist Health and Rideout has begun the process of divesting its senior care campus in Marysville, a transition hospital officials say will allow the organization to sharpen its focus on acute and outpatient medical services while maintaining continuity of care for current residents.

The senior campus includes The Fountains skilled nursing facility; The Courtyard assisted living facility and The Gardens memory care community.

On Jan. 14, Adventist Health and Rideout announced it selected Cypress Healthcare Group to assume operations of all three facilities.

“The transition is subject to standard legal review and required approvals, a process expected to take a minimum of six months,” said Nick Woodard, marketing and communication manager for Adventist Health and Rideout.

Woodard said the decision reflects a shift toward core medical services while ensuring the senior campus remains stable and operational.

“This strategic decision supports our long-term focus of delivering high quality, sustainable care as the Yuba Sutter region’s only full-service acute care provider and trusted provider of emergency services, cancer care and outpatient services,” Woodard said.

Hospital officials emphasized that the divestiture does not mean the campus is closing or reducing services.

“No services are being limited during this process, and the campus is not being closed,” Woodard said.

Adventist Health and Rideout stated that Cypress Healthcare Group was selected based on its experience and alignment with the hospital’s values.

“Cypress brings a mission driven approach and commitment to person centered care that closely align with our values, making them a trusted partner to carry forward the legacy of these facilities,” Woodard said. “We are confident that their experience, resources and dedication will ensure our senior campus continues to thrive and serve residents and families in our community for generations to come.”

Woodard said maintaining continuity of care remains the top priority.

“Our highest priority is maintaining continuity of care and the ongoing comfort for every resident,” he said.

Day-to-day operations will continue without interruption throughout the legal and regulatory review process.

“Residents continue to be cared for by the same dedicated staff you know and trust,” Woodard said. “One of our priorities is to ensure that our valued staff remain in place.”

The hospital also said there are no planned changes to fees, billing or coverage at this time.

“Any future changes would be communicated well in advance and handled with great care,” Woodard said.

Adventist Health and Rideout plans to keep residents and family members informed as the transition progresses.

“In partnership with Cypress Healthcare, we will provide regular updates through written communications, family meetings and direct outreach,” Woodard said. “If you have questions, leadership and staff are always available to talk with you.”

Hospital officials did not provide a specific completion date beyond the estimated six-month minimum review period but said additional information will be shared as approvals are secured and the transition moves forward.
