Who we are
Wert-Berater, Inc. has prepared independent feasibility studies for lenders, certified development companies, and federal agencies since 1998 — more than four thousand engagements representing $40.2 billion in evaluated project value across all fifty states and international assignments. Our fiduciary duty runs to the lender and the agency, never to the sponsor’s optimism: fees are fixed, quoted up front, never contingent on findings, and a determination is never changed under pressure.
What we do
Behavioral health spans inpatient psychiatric beds, residential treatment, crisis stabilization, and the partial-hospitalization and intensive-outpatient continuum — and feasibility turns on documented unmet demand, licensure pathway, and payer access. The study quantifies the bed and slot deficit from prevalence data and existing capacity, documents the licensure and accreditation path level of care by level of care, and builds the revenue case from the payer contracts the operator can actually reach, since parity law on paper and network access in practice are different facts.
How we do it
Demand modeling from prevalence and capacity-gap analysis, census ramp against referral-source development, per-diem and per-session yields by payer with authorization and length-of-stay patterns stated, staffing at required clinical ratios, and the operator's licensure track record weighed as the management dimension it is.
How we can help you
Community-serving facilities reach USDA Community Facilities in eligible areas; for-profit operators fit B&I and SBA structures; the regulatory dimension is decisive in every framework. The firm's senior-care and residential-facility record supplies the census-and-staffing underwriting architecture the category requires.
How to engage us
Standard delivery is 10 to 15 business days from complete project data. Rush delivery for deals already in underwriting is accepted case by case for an additional fixed fee, quoted up front and committed in writing. Engagements are typically initiated by the borrower, with lender or CDC confirmation obtained before work begins — institutions differ, so confirm the procedure with your lending contact.
