Daniel R. Baty built two of the largest senior-housing operators in the United States. He chaired Holiday Retirement from 1987 until Fortress Investment Group bought it in 2007 for more than $6B, and founded Emeritus Corporation in 1993, growing it into the country's largest for-profit assisted-living chain before it merged into Brookdale Senior Living in 2014. In 1989 he started Columbia Pacific Management with his sons Stan and Brandon, which produced Columbia Pacific Advisors and Columbia Pacific Wealth Management; he stepped back from day-to-day work there in May 2021. No reliable net-worth figure is published.
Emeritus was the subject of 'Life and Death in Assisted Living', a year-long Frontline and ProPublica investigation broadcast in 2013, which documented more than two dozen cases of alleged substandard care including three deaths, and made the broader argument that assisted living — unlike nursing homes — carries no federal regulation. The company said it would respond vigorously and rejected the allegations. Emeritus settled a California wage-and-hour class action for $2.2M and a separate class action over how services were described for $13M, disputing the claims in both. No criminal charge was brought against Baty.
N443DB is a 2015 Bombardier Challenger 350, serial 20552, hex A5560F, registered to Geoduck Aviation II LLC at 1910 Fairview Avenue East in Seattle — the registered agent on the Washington filing is Columbia Pacific Management Inc and the listed officer is Stan Baty, which is about as direct a corporate link as this cluster produces. The geoduck is the Puget Sound clam. Read legs as the family office's rather than as one man's.
