HCR ManorCare has its roots in Toledo, Ohio-based Owens-Illinois, Inc. (O-I), the world's largest glass container manufacturer. In 1929, O-I entered the health care field when Owens Bottle Company merged with Illinois Glass Company, a manufacturer of glass products for the drug and medical fields, to form Owens-Illinois Glass Company. In 1982, health care was viewed as a rapidly growing industry that could be expected to improve profits. As a result, O-I created a health care group, which included pharmaceutical packaging operations that made scientific glassware. That same year, an investment started O-I on the road to nursing home ownership. 1982 O-I begins a deeper diversification into health care by making an equity investment in Health Group Inc. (HGI) of Nashville, Tennessee, a hospital management group that owned specialty hospitals and several nursing homes. 1984 O-I acquires Health Care and Retirement Corporation of America (HCRA), headquartered in Lima, Ohio. Starting as a lumber company in 1944, HCRA expanded into constructing nursing homes for third parties and in 1974 began management of its first facility. In the late 70s and early 80s, HCRA continued construction of new homes and by the time it is acquired by O-I owned 46 facilities with over 5,000 beds. 1985 O-I acquires the nursing homes of Health Group Care Centers, a division of HGI, in exchange for its equity position in HGI. The acquisition includes 26 facilities in 10 states. Headquarters of O-I s health care business is moved from Lima to Toledo. 1986 O-I acquires Care Corporation, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This company adds 41 nursing homes, with 5,300 beds, in six states. 1990 By 1990, O-I is a major skilled nursing provider with 135 facilities and more than 17,500 beds.

BBA precipitated a watershed structural change in the skilled nursing industry by introducing a Medicare prospective payment system (PPS) that replaced a cost-based system. PPS commenced in July 1998. Providers were allowed to phase in PPS gradually, and by the time it was fully implemented, five of HCR ManorCare's six largest competitors and numerous other providers had filed for bankruptcy protection.
