Team

Richard earned his accounting degree in 1940 and started an accounting practice shortly thereafter. He later entered the field of healthcare. With Ruth’s support, Richard built a chain of Nursing Homes and Mental Health facilities. When Ruth became sick at 89 years old, the close-knit family, including Richard, the Tischlers’ children and their grandchildren, began searching for the perfect senior living residence. As her health condition progressed, she required services ranging from Independent to Assisted Living to Memory Care. Inspired by this personal experience and building upon our family’s values, principles and generations of experience, Bloom was formed to shift the family’s focus to the same lifestyle options that Ruth required. The Tischlers were married for almost 70 years before Ruth passed away from Alzheimer’s disease in 2012, and Richard was still involved in daily operations until he passed away in 2016 at the age of 101.

Mitch oversees Bloom’s strategic initiatives and health care investments. He has spent the past 45 years developing, acquiring and managing health care properties. Mitch continues to own and manage, in addition to Bloom’s Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care communities, Skilled Nursing and Mental Health facilities throughout the United States. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Michigan State University. Mitch previously served multiple terms as President, Vice President and Treasurer of the Jewish Home and Aging Services, and he remains on the Finance Committee of Jewish Senior Living of Detroit.

Howard oversees Bloom’s risk management department and health care investments. He was previously the President of his own insurance brokerage agency and Vice President of a national agency. His clients included senior housing providers, real estate investment trusts and real estate developers.

Nancy and Jean are the daughters of Ruth and Richard Tischler; wives of Mitch Kantor and Howard Dubin; and parents to Scott Kantor, Tony Kantor, Lisa Kantor Guth, Bradley Dubin and Elizabeth Dubin Gottlieb. The Tischlers told them at a young age, “We’re not going to be around forever. You need to make your sister your best friend.” They have been inseparable ever since. Like Ruth and Richard, their families are their lives and they are our biggest fans and cheerleaders.
